Chapter 3: We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident; The Rage for Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
“[The Declaration of Independence] speaks in the vocabulary of natural rights, which many Americans find congenial, though without examining the full implications of that vocabulary...It would rather have spoiled the effect to have added ‘up to a point’ or ‘within reason’ to Jefferson’s resounding generalities.”
Enough said...although the Supreme Court (and many Americans in general) ignore the part about being "endowed by their Creator" with unalienable rights, most importantly LIFE. In keeping with their radical individualism and unrestricted self-gratification, they substituted (i.e. invented) a right to "PRIVACY" instead of a right to life.
