Where Do Rights Come From?
Many people say that rights come from God. But there are estimated to be over 10,000 distinct religions worldwide.
Does each religion have its own God and come with its own special set of rights? Do some religions offer more rights than others?
What if you converted to a different religion and that religion had fewer rights than the religion you’re with now? What will you do with all those extra rights?
Give them away? Trade them for some rights you’re missing? Or maybe trade for a whole new set?
Did the ancient Romans who lived over 2,000 years ago have any rights? Of course they did. And they all worshipped Zeus. But old Zeus isn’t around any more. You see my point?
And if rights do come from God, what about atheists? Don’t atheists have any rights? Can an atheist be thrown in prison without the right to know the charges brought against him, without the right to counsel and without trial by jury?
What if you’re just agnostic, you know, on the fence? Half-way between an atheist and a true believer? Would you have 50% as many rights?
I think we can all agree that this “where do rights come from” thing can get pretty confused. So how about this: You have unlimited rights simply as a matter of being alive. Meaning that you entered this world with 100% of your rights already intact.
America’s founders referred to rights as inalienable, meaning unable to be alienated or removed from you. In other words, stuck to you like glue. Your rights are an inherent part of your very existence.
How’s this list for starters? You have the right…
To be alive.
To have children.
To defend your life and property.
To travel and assemble with others.
To express your opinions, freely and openly.
To associate with others of your own choosing.
To enter into agreements with other consenting adults.
To work hard and keep 100% of the fruits of your labor.
To ignore the opinions of others with whom you disagree.
Everyone comes into this world with all of these rights, and far too many more to list.
The good news is that you get to exercise every one of these rights, so long as you don’t infringe someone else’s rights. As the old saying goes, my rights end at the tip of your nose, and vice versa.
There is a long list of ways in which someone can violate your rights.
If someone kills you they commit murder.
If someone defrauds you, well, they commit fraud.
If someone steals property that you rightfully own, they commit theft.
If someone physically harms you they commit assault, maybe even battery.
If someone enters your property without your permission, they commit trespass.
The biggest violator of your rights can be your own government.
But we’ll get into that in future lessons when we discuss psyops, coverups, taxation and other frauds.
So we’ve established that you arrive with all of your rights intact, but can you voluntarily surrender your rights? Yes, indeed, you certainly can.
Just convert them into privileges. How could you possibly do this? It’s pretty easy, actually. People do it all the time.
