re: #14 The Curmudgeon

We have what rights we, as people, mutually ensure that we have through the rule of law. That’s my view.

I get what the founders were trying to say, but it’s an incredible distortion of their intent to imply that these “inalienable” rights are bestowed by anything other than ourselves. Rights are extremely fucking alienable, as history has shown again and again, and the ONLY thing that can prevent that is the actions of people, not deities.

That’s my view.
