Class reflections

"Try as they might, no people can ever achieve a perfect equality of conditions. Should a nation be unfortunate enough to reach such a state of absolute and complete leveling, it would still be left with inequalities of intelligence, and these, steming as they do directly from God, will always elude laws." (Alexis de Tocqueville)

What does this say to a democratic society in search of equality?

This is a place to read snipets of history, presented from a Biblical mindset. Learning from the past is essential. One learns the mistakes and successes from our heritage and is guided in wiser paths to make your own stamp on history.
