- 2+3=5 and 3+2=5. Backwards but same result. It was Jefferson's belief
- (a correct one I might add) of course that these rights are inalienable.
- Your "...should not be usurped by, government" statement points out the
- FACT that, were it not for the Government we have instituted to protect
- them, we would not enjoy those rights. Take a look at N. Korea, the "Peoples"
- Republic of Vietnam, etc, etc, etc and tell me that such rights as we enjoy
- are not a priviledge. Your enjoyment of the gallentry of the words does
- not make them so. The world is far too cruel of a place for you to imagine
- that rights precede the power of a government. Not if you are speaking
- from a practical standpoint and not some etherial ideal of rights. Our
- rights are a priviledge few people in this world enjoy, regardless of what
- you think we were born with.
