-- No. -- Our laws must be, and are, based on rights.

Why?

I don't care what you 'want'.

I could say the same to you, couldn't I? Or more realistically, a Biden or a Boxer or a Sharpton could. What would you answer? "You have no right" while they're closing down your business or hauling you off to jail for some speech crime? Who says they don't have the right? Our Founding Fathers? But you can't articulate their reasoning can you?

We have equal rights to life liberty & property.

That's a moral axiom

Individual liberty is an inalienable right.

Again, that's a perspective based on morality. Accidents of nature do not have inalienable rights. Children of God do. Something for you to ponder.

No more pondering.
You are back to making partial quotes of my replies, asking the sophomoric 'why' and 'who says', and making an idiotic statement about 'accidents of nature'.

Play your silly games elsewhere.
