The most logical reason against having our Bill of Rights was that they weren't necessary because government didn't have the authority to infringe on those rights in the first place, so there was no sense in writing them down. Luckily, they went ahead and did it. I'm very Lockean in my philosophy towards government and individual liberty.Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910646382682288133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-89276219935016260042011-04-05T20:02:44.545-07:002011-04-05T20:02:44.545-07:00I think our main problem stems from the fact that ...I think our main problem stems from the fact that we started as a penal colony, we have no Bill Of Rights.<br />I agree with you totally Hutch.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-39693124659768223542011-04-05T10:30:14.285-07:002011-04-05T10:30:14.285-07:00I would offer that you, as a human being, have nat...I would offer that you, as a human being, have natural rights in which your government, or any government, cannot limit in any manner. Namely, the right to life and therefore the inherent right to defend that right by any means necessary. NO legitimate government has the authority to grant or deny the Rights of Man; it is not something the people can grant the government any more than they can grant the government authority to, say, regulate slavery. In America, our constitution enumerates these natural rights; our government ignores and neglects those rights often, however, I also make a habit of ignoring all those laws which are illegitimate and illegal, with no regard and the full realization that it very well may cause my imprisonment.Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910646382682288133noreply@blogger.com
