Um...dude...this is kinda embarrassing, but you need some help with either your reading comprehension abilities, the depth of your vocabulary, or both. You completely misread, or misunderstood, what I wrote.

Here is Webster again, to help you out:

PROPERTY: 1 a : a quality or trait belonging and especially peculiar to an individual or thing ... d : an attribute common to all members of a class

Examples: the class of "letters in the English alphabet" and the class of "positive integers less than 27" are equal in terms of the property of size, or number. Something weighing a thousand pounds and something weighing half a ton are equal in terms of the property of weight. All American citizens--well, at least for the sake of argument here--are equal in terms of the property of having been guaranteed by the US Constitution the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Evidently you thought I meant the secondary definition:

2 a : something owned or possessed; specifically : a piece of real estate

Go re-read the definition I gave you of "equality" and get back to the drawing board. I know you didn't mean any ill will by your glaring mistake, but I do want to be sure you get this right.
