Wow, who are you? I like you. You actually make sense. And I would have to choose the second one.

Although, I believe the Equalist message is fundamentally flawed as it ignores the real issue. People will always abuse things to victimize others or gain power. If not bending, it would be something else. Our world's history is full of those who did this (and in some cases still do), and we never had bending or magic or anything like that. A simple weapon would more than suffice, such as those Platinum machines Hirsohi was producing for example.

Getting rid of benders does not solve the problem. It ignores the real issue and pins it on an ability not everyone is born with. Now granted, fixing the actual problem is easier said then done. They also have a legitimate point about non benders being at a disadvantage. But they don't have to be, and there are plenty of non benders that can more than hold there own in a world full of benders to prove it. Everything in the Avatar world is there for a reason, and a harmony exists because of that. Non benders are just as important to the balance as benders are. The Equalists should focus on bridging the gap between benders and non benders so that they can live in harmony again, rather than bring everyone down to their level.
