Proposition
“… a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”
— Speech, A. Lincoln, Nov. 19, 1863
Some are less equal than others.
Proof:
Jacques Herbrand, born on this date in 1908.
“Herbrand… worked on field theory, considering abelian extensions of algebraic number fields. In the few months on which he worked on this topic, Herbrand published ten papers. These papers simplify proofs of results by Kronecker, Heinrich Weber, Hilbert, Takagi and Artin. Herbrand also generalised some of the results by these workers in class field theory as well as proving some important new theorems of his own.” –MacTutor

Equal creation does not directly correlate to equal existance. While it arguably should, in our self-centered concept of reality, it is almost impossible to connect our equal creation into a truely equal existance.
