I feel like Beatty's explanation on how things should be is a sensible one. You can't blame him for going alone with what everyone else thinks. I think that he made a really, really good point when he says that God said we were all to be made equal. Not that we were born equal, but that we were supposed to be made equal. Though I don't go along with it, it is a good point and a good argument. The whole people have died rather than break their eggs at the smaller end thing, I didn't get at all. It made no sense to me and no matter how hard I tried to analyze it, I just didn't get it.
