Rights!


Lately many say they have the right. They claim that they have this right or that right. I wonder if they earned the right because even the right to say it was granted to them by another's sacrifice. People are claiming rights that aren't even a right. What did any of them do to earn the rights they claim because currently any rights we might have were earned by someone else. Moreover, Americans claim being "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” But someone else many years ago made that claim and wrote it down. No one alive today sat down and wrote this or paid the high price of making the claim. Consequently, if you assume you have rights, you can thank someone else for coming up with the idea, and the many who died defending the maintenance and protection of the borders and sovereignty of these ideas. This is just the introduction to the debate. What do you think should be the first question?
