Rights: I would divide the freedom issue into two aspects of rights. Those rights that one is endowed with at birth as a matter of being granted noble human status. Secondly, those rights one is granted by the state in order to maintain secure noble person.

I would also like to note that the authors of our constitution in America were not Gods and may not have enumerated 'rights' as completely as they could have if they had lived to see our circumstances in modern times. ... for example, although it is not enumerated in the constitution:

'It is a self-evident fact that noble human beings are endowed with the natural right to think, speak, and conduct themselves freely with regard to the well being of creatures and creation.'

and it would be an improvement to our culture if the following were added as a human right:

'No person shall be required to violate an issue of personal conscience in the performance of public or private service to another.'

What happened to us after Jefferson? ... did we stop having noble vision?
