Why is This Controversial Again? . . . Oh. . . . Yeah. . . .

The Universal Declaration 

of 

Human Rights

The PREAMBLE begins:

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, . . . 

What follows the Preamble is 30 RIGHTS to which some feel they are entitled but others are not, including . . .

Article 3.

Everyone has the right to life, liberty 

and security of person.

Sound familiar?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. . . .

Quote of the Day

The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. 

In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.

- John Stuart Mill, On Liberty.

Where The Others Conscience Begins

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Religious liberty is not just the freedom to practice one's faith. It is also the freedom to not be subjected to another's faith.
