That's like saying all could equal in social status too. Yet hierarchy of any kind would negate that. He'll, even agism could come into play. There isn't any system where man being 100% equal can ever exist. It is a fool's ambition.

The right of self preservation, in turn, was understood as the right to defend oneself against attacks by lawless individuals, or, if absolutely necessary, to resist and throw off a tyrannical government.

I don't know about equal, but that was modeled in the old testament. Everyone got a piece of land to be handed down to their descendants except for the Levites who got to live off the tithes of everyone else. You can mortgage your land but after 50 years it reverts back to you. It passed from father to sons but they had laws covering if there were no sons born to a family.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

What if every man had one and only one wife in his lifetime? (Exception being if you married an ugly one, you would be allowed an extra one - or a lifetime supply of paper bags?)

Damnit! Third time I've clicked on this because I couldn't remember what it was about.
Here, I'll bump it to the top. That will help.
