| | United Nations Declaration of Human Rights Destroys Individual Rights by Glenn Woiceshyn -- Capitalism Magazine |
| | The concept of rights is older than the United Nations but relatively new in human history -- a predominantly savage and bloody history of war, murder, slavery, rape and looting committed by humans against humans. | | | That's what the United States' founding fathers meant by the individual's right to "life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness." These rights, being "unalienable," cannot be abrogated by government decree or majority vote. | | | Meanwhile, the United States -- the freest and most prosperous country on earth -- becomes the moral villain for not sufficiently protecting "economic rights," i.e., for not sufficiently sacrificing those individuals who are ambitious, creative and productive to those who are not. |
