I featured you on my blog, Liberty and Prosperity for Today (http://libertyprosperity.wordpress.com).<BR/><BR/>You would enjoy a Russell Kirk lecture that I listened to yesterday. <I>Rights Under Two Revolutions</I> is a great lecture and can be listened to http://www.kirkcenter.org/index.php/video/audio-1/Jesse O.

Thanks for your comment. I am open ...Tony, <BR/>Welcome! Thanks for your comment. I am open to a deeper understanding and would love for you to elaborate. Help me understand where you see a distinction between rights and obligations. (Where do “obligations” come from if not rights?) In my reading of the UDHR, I see no differentiation between the articles which state a right to life, liberty and property and the articles which list the other “rights.” <BR/>Specifically:<BR/>Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.<BR/>Article 17: (1) Everyone has the right to own property. (2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.<BR/>Article 23: Everyone has a right to work.<BR/>Article 24: Everyone has a right to rest and leisure<BR/>Article 25: Everyone has a right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care.<BR/>Article 26: Everyone has a right to education.<BR/><BR/>You mention Articles 28 and 30 as the “obligations.” Can you clarify what you mean and how these articles counter the points I made in the original post?<BR/><BR/>Article 28: everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized.<BR/><BR/>Article 30: Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for joining the discussion. I hope you have time to respond.<BR/>BethHaynesBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263223513305886233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774848724259616420.post-87168690042261050372008-07-11T04:23:00.000-07:002008-07-11T04:23:00.000-07:00Interesting.

But tad confused.<BR/><BR/>Articles 28 and 30 of the UDHR are obligations, and life liberty and protperty are human rights covered in the declaration.<BR/><BR/>And trust me, not all human rights organisations are favoured by Chavez et al.Tony Percyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304482516307203400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774848724259616420.post-40491214588349909642008-07-10T18:57:00.000-07:002008-07-10T18:57:00.000-07:00Amen, Sister!Amen, Sister!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10125420842365426738noreply@blogger.com
