PARITY NOT EQUALITY
“EQUALITY” IS FAKE, PARITY TRUE
Saturday, April 01, 2017
By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman
Men speak of equality, regularly. But what is this equality?
Most typically, equality is a meant as a form of an ideal political, legal parity.
“Equality,” itself, is an abstraction, lacking natural correspondence, corroboration.
An actual state of “equality” is belied by objective, concrete conditions—by nature, itself—quite apart from man’s fenestrations, man’s imagined filigrees of equality by ornate rhetorical illustrations.
Science says there is no equality in nature. This premise is supported by inferences from this quote:
“As kinetic Alfvén waves move through a plasma, electrons traveling at the right speed get trapped in the weak spots of the wave's magnetic field. Because the field is stronger on either side of such spots, the electrons bounce back and forth as if bordered by two walls, in what is known as a magnetic mirror in the wave. As a result, the electrons aren't distributed evenly throughout: Some areas have a higher density of electrons, and other pockets are left with fewer electrons. Other electrons, which travel too fast or too slow to ride the wave, end up passing energy back and forth with the wave as they jockey to keep up.”

Owing to “weak spots,” in space, in wave’s magnetic fields, electrons bounce back and forth, and “as a result, the electrons aren't distributed evenly throughout: Some areas have a higher density of electrons, and other pockets are left with fewer electrons.”
If electrons are not distributed evenly throughout, at the lowest level of life, how is it other, higher?
Hydrogen has but one electron; it underlies all of life. Fewer are better. More are less, there. Not so, here. More are better. Few are less. With property this is particularly true, as with personal rights.
Perhaps, parity not equality; and personal rights, not civil rights, better fits our natural consistency.
