I think [Anonymous Submitter of the National Socialist primer] made some
mistakes in his "primer." (It was also formatted very crudely:
try to keep the hate tracts under 70 columns next time.) I've
forwarded a more realistic version for publication.

What is Universal Equality?
 
      Universal Equality represents the most sound means of assuring
   the biological and cultural rejuvenation and progression of the only
   race of intelligent beings that exist on this planet, the Human
   Race.

      Universal Equality is the product of over a millenia of political
   and social thought cultivated by every nation in the world,
   popularized and first put into action by the human beings who
   struggled to eliminate hate and prejudice -- humans such as Mother
   Theresa, Ghandi, Malcolm X and the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

      Universal Equality was at first a progressive political outlook
   adopted in several nations, but evolved quickly into a pan-Human
   Vision of racial equality and progress.  Many rightly view Universal
   Equality as the eternal manifestation of the cosmology of love,
   friendship, harmony and fairness to all.


Why do you call yourselves "Human?"

      "Human" describes a member of the race of Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
   "Humans" exist throughout the world, in every nation.  "Humans" come
   in many colors, with many religions and creeds and preferences.
   Despite external differences in appearances, all "humans" have
   thoughts, dreams, goals, beliefs, abilities, and worth.  Individual
   "humans" tend to vary greatly from one another; the fact that a
   particular "human" has a certain appearance or skin color has been
   proven to be an utterly unreliable guide in pre-judging the level or
   nature of qualities or abilities of that individual "human".  Even
   though certain "humans" persist in the use of stereotypical or
   racial categorizations that cloud their thoughts and blind them to
   the universal nature of the struggles that all "humans" face, it is
   undeniable that an individual "human" can only be known on an
   individual basis, through knowing the history of that individual's
   actions.

      _Human_ is the proper designation for the Peoples of Earth and 
   their descendants across the universe.


Aren't you liberals without realistic views?

      Universal Equality is a reawakened moral perception, founded upon
   the eternal living Truth of the Existence of Humanity.  Universal
   Equalists embrace a realistic and fair purpose of humanity: the
   quest for excellence and constant improvement, and love.  It may be
   true that it is easier to destroy than to create, and that it is
   more simplistic to hate than to love; more facile to keep the mind
   closed instead of open -- but Universal Equality embraces the first
   rule of humanity: Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself.
   It also embraces the second rule: Judge not others unless you too
   will be judged, and found wanting. 

      Equality is not a liberal precept, nor a conservative one.  It
   is simply the ideal of fairness, a goal that transcends politics
   and religion.

      Universal Equality needs no religious "law book" purporting to
   contain "truth."  Wisdom is present in Nature for all to seek,
   understand, and apply in their own lives.


Why do you give that "handshake?"

      The handshake, thrusting out your right hand to grasp the hand of
   another (and perhaps followed by a hug or kisses upon each
   cheek), is an ancient greeting first used by warriors to designate
   an absence of ready weapons and hostility.

      The handshake today symbolizes peace, respect, and good will toward 
   comrades or friendly strangers to whom it is extended.


Just who do you consider "Human?"

      Universal Equalists recognize individuals as biologically Human if they
   are born.  Who can prove their ancestry?  Why are you so sure?
