re: #105 Sergey Romanov

This is just an idea, without any connection to reality. Humans will violate rights regardless of this idea. So why the need for the idea in the first place?

Actually, ideals, stated and believed by men, can become reality.

When they wrote the Declaration of Independence, men (or women) were not equal. They wrote it down, and repeated it, held it up as an ideal, and we’ve tried to work towards it. (Slowly and imperfectly, but usually in a forwards direction.)

Just because we can’t be perfect doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to be better.
