If you believe in human rights, you
recognize that outside of the 'need' of
governments to regulate for public
safety, actions by the government
beyond these ends constitute tyranny.
If you do not believe in human rights,
the conclusion remains the same: that for
Government to force people to make
decisions adverse to their own nature,
or beliefs without justification that is
coherent (i.e. the justification must
stand up to the light of reason whether
you are in tin-buck-too or
San Franscisco), IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!
Paraphrased, if something is forbidden
in one place and OK somewhere else,
that which is forbidden is probably
some form of tyranny, for if it was a
public threat it would not be allowed
elsewhere. If a justification for
infringement on individual rights is
true in one place, then logically is
should be true in all places.
In a democracy laws may be arbitrarily
created by a majority. These may be
laws that serve no other purpose than
to maintain the hang-ups of a frustrated
populace perpetrating what was
perpetrated on them, such as the dumb
laws REQUIRING people to wear clothes.
I mean, if its warm out, why can't I go
naked (even if it is cold, who has the
right to tell me to dress warmer). Is
the reasoning that someone will flip out
if I go naked so important that a
government should be authorized to force
me to wear clothes? If such arbitrary
justification is allowed, what is to
prevent a commercial interest from
controlling news and advertising to the
point where a non-thinking conformist
society is established with criminal
penalties imposed for individuality
and free choice? If a government
requires clothes, should they be
expected to provide that clothing -
and I am not talking carcinogenic
synthetic fibers; I am talking
hypoallergenic safe cotton and hemp
clothes!
If we are to kow-tow to childish
tantrums of people flipping out, then
that in effects supports a form of
a mental illness: Is that the purpose
of government - to prolong and support
a mental illness? If we are all to
be enslaved to whatever creed some
group flips out over, what is to
stop the oligarchy from programming
the population to flip out over any
liberty they wish to take away from
us???
Well hey, I flip out when people make
war or when people shoot or injure
protestors simply for their expression
of concern about the safety and
welfare of the planet. I think war
is more serious than nudity. Why,
because a majority of people have to
impose their whims on me, should I
have to go out and spend money on
clothes? To satisfy their need to
remain ignorant, xenophobic, racist
and close-minded? To protect their
values left over from the dark ages?
What a rip!
The Freedom of Religion is linked to
our other Freedoms. If religious
zealots influence the government to
legislate religious preferences of
style, it is only a matter of time
before religions are outlawed
themselves. For Christian's who
believe God put us in these bodies
to make our own choices, who are
they to try and make the choice for
me but servants of the Devil?
In a Republic (theoretically) there
is rule by law. In the U.S. the idea
is that as a Republic, laws are
implemented that protect everyone's
rights to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. Liberty does not and
won't ever pre-empt prohibitions on
activities that injure people like
shooting guns in a playground or
cutting down all our forests thus
wiping out the air we breathe. That is
why I like the concept of a Republic,
because it protects the rights of the
individual to make his or her own
choices, even if they are bad ones,
provided they do not injure or take
from others. At the same time it
extends limited authority to
Governments to legislate against acts
which cause injury or death to others.
As we move into a One World
Government (almost a necessity if
our civilized and technological
world is to survive) it becomes
more important than ever to recognize
that religious states, and other forms
of tyranny imposing choices on people,
are the biggest threat we face today!
Expecially since the nature of these
impositions are typically for self
gain and have nothing to do with the
protection of human rights or concern
for the planet as an ecosystem.
I support each individuals right to
worship in their own manner. I do
not support their collective forcing
other people to worship as they so
choose, or using their collective as
an instrument to terrorize, criminalize,
steal from and injure those who believe
differently. I do not support the right
of mobs to deny the right of free
choice to non-conformists. I do not
support any agency that discriminates
against color, creed, religion or
individualism. I do not support their
collective engaging lobbyist to effect
laws that infringe on our human rights
to choose how we live our lives within
the limits set by the damage that is
caused to others or life on Earth in
general.
I hope you will join me in the renewed
battle started by our forefathers to
limit the powers of government and
protecting the rights of the individual
to make cultural and personal choices
without interference or intimidation,
as long as those choices do not harm
others.
Stop the gangs! The gangs that think
they have the right to crush individual
expression to satisfy their immature
hysterical desire to tyrannize over
others!
