LL doesn't think we are born with any rights. In his worldview, all rights are granted by the government. That which the government giveth, the government may taketh away.
Rights are in accordance with the optimum way to peacefully co-exist, not in accordance with some mystical anything. In other words, they are arrived at intellectually by men - and now men should probably come up with a much more fool proof way of making them inalienable, with their brains.................before it's too late.
Wow did you miss the entire idea behind the founding of America. I mean, COMPLETELY missed it. That we are born with inalienable rights that cannot be granted nor taken away without due process is the foundation, the very idea behind the founding of America.
Kings, dictators, tyrants...they grant and remove rights based on their ideas of what is 'optimum'. Not in America.
Geez. Get thee a history book!
Some people disagree. Inalienable rights imply a Creator and Natural law. That's something alot of people don't want to think about or cant accept.
