Definition: The state or quality of being equal.
Equal - Having the same quantity, measure, or value as another.
It is important that we keep sight of the when equality is important. We want to ensure equality of opportunity and equality in the application of law, but no one has the right to equality of outcome. The next time someone is telling you that your ideals do not lead to fairness, that there is no equality at the end of your rainbow, please take the time to remind them that someone has to step up to their equal opportunities in order to acheive an equal outcome.
Equality simply cannot be measured by outcome.
