Many people would rather be dead than be a slave, Betty - Perhaps even a slave for nine months. - Liberty may be our preeminent right.

A dead man cannot benefit from liberty, tpaine. Only the living can.

Therefore, LIFE is the preeminent right, the single most basic right from which all other human rights justly flow.

I think this is what our Constitution says. Which is why I love and honor and try to uphold it.

Well said. It is beyond my ability to grasp why otherwise smart people can not wrap their arms around that undeniable fact.
