Do you want to uphold the universal declaration of human rights?
If so, you must apply it without exception, otherwise it is useless.
I still think that murderer’s should serve life in prison, but that does not mean they should surrender their human rights does it? For if we do not apply them to all, how can we expect (or even deserve) others to apply them to us?[/QB][/QUOTE]In theory I think human rights are great, however, I question wether cable TV, good food, warm quarters (or cool) and such luxuries that most everyone has to pay for and work for as being necessary to afford them their rights.
