"How strange that you think I must somehow explain & 'read a teaching', that only you can see."
Okay, I'm the only one who can see a Declaration teaching on unalienable rights.
"Unalienable rights are self evident, imo. The declarations language is clear. - My life is mine to live. I need no imput from you or Ashcroft."
I see that you are quite confident that you are reading the Declaration clearly. You seem to think, "The Declaration tells me what I already think -- that I am a wholly self-justifying and independent entity, entitled to liberty from all constraint, merely because I am, well, such a nifty kind of guy. When it speaks of my duty to alter or abolish certain kinds of governments, for example, it just means my really clear liberty to do so, if I want to.
I will end my part by reminding you that without a coherent account of the source of our rights, we can't very well defend them.
"I'll await your self touted 'coherence' with bated breath."
Nope. I'm done. May God have mercy on our silly delusion of a free-floating human "right" to self-government, based on nothing and beholden to no one. Maybe we'll even get through another generation or two before someone entices us to "want" a grave injustice like slavery or conquest. Maybe by then we'll have some better reason in our souls to say no to the temptation than the foolish self-assertive brainless arrogance by which we seem determined to attempt to manage our affairs.
