Very funny, Justin!

"EQUAL RIGHTS" has to do with voting rights as far as European Americans are concerned. The motto probably has no connection to the rights of Native Americans nor Americans from other ethnic groupings.

Oh, here is something related to many men in Wyoming that I was writing in a IM with a friend.

I believe the 'Equal Rights' motto has to do with the Wyoming territory being the first in the US to grant voting rights to women in 1869.
