Yes! People have inalienable rights given to mankind from the creator of the universe.God if you will. Governments have forgotten they are the employees of the people and not the subjugators of the people. All to often these days,lawmakers decide to do what is on their "agenda" rather than follow the laws in place.
Creating new laws everyday to further cloud issues. Some of the Laws created in this culture of death would horrify most generations of people from the past. Especially those who fought and died for the right to live in peace and those who confronted the organizers of their time period.
These organizers of modern Government have created for themselves the position of absolute power instead of enshrining the absolute rights of the people they work for. The whole notion of Government was to protect property rights. Thats all. Property protection was the basis of Government. The trouble with this is no one can be trusted with such a notion.
The following is an excerpt from an essay on (Political Economy 1850)
"The pretensions of organizers suggest another question, which I have often asked them, and to which I am not aware that I ever received an answer: Since the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to allow them liberty, how comes it to pass that the tendencies of organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their agents form a part of the human race? Do they consider that they are composed of different materials from the rest of mankind? They say that society, when left to itself, rushes to inevitable destruction, because its instincts are perverse. They pretend to stop it in its downward course, and to give it a better direction. They have, therefore, received from heaven, intelligence and virtues which place them beyond and above mankind: let them show their title to this superiority. They would be our shepherds, and we are to be their flock. This arrangement presupposes in them a natural superiority, the right to which we are fully justified in calling upon them to prove". (Excerpt From Essay on Political Economy 1850)
Of course elitists don't consider a higher power, so then where does such a person come to the conclusion they have any right or justification to impose their worldly authority ( Legislative, Police, Military or otherwise) over anyone else, either by propaganda, force or abdication of responibility of the masses? It seems to me the very existence of such lunacy in a variety of religious sects, cults
