Oh, and reading that again, I see that we're saying the same thing - my 
eyes have been acting up today and I misread "is" for "isn't".

So if I understand correctly, you could be saying that the problem just 
is "we're bigoted and want to punish people we don't like" - my solution 
works only if the problem isn't that.  If the problem is in fact "we're 
bigoted and want to punish people we don't like", then the solution of 
creating equality doesn't work, because the bigots don't want equality, 
they want to keep the discriminatory practices in place.
