Is all human life TRULY equal ?
Before answering please consider the following scenerio -
If a train continues on its current course, it will kill a five year old child down the track. However, a signalman is standing by a switch that can redirect the train to another branch. Unfortunately, a lone worker age 80 will be killed if the train is switched to the new track.
If you were the signalman, what would you do?
LOL. That was the first thing I thought of!

Hopeless living, loving and laughing.
We are your typical hard working, punk rock listening,
vergetarian eating, rule breaking, world loving,
art creating, ever changing, always loving family.
The old guy is gonna die soon anyway. It would be more logical to let the child live. He still has potential to do something great with his life. Maybe cure cancer and save millions.

Or be the next Hitler....
Don't a lot of people believe that "everything happens for a reason" or that if the child died it was "god's plan" for that to happen....
*I don't believe either, just keeping the conversation going...
It's amazing how people don't hold themselves to the standards they set for others.
This is sad.....but I do not think it's equal!
