During the Fourth of July celebration, there was a lot of talk about
the so-called unalienable rights enjoyed by Americans.  These
allegedly are: the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
The word "unalienable" means something which can not be taken
away.	Let us see, if those rights are really unalienable.

The right to life means that your government can not kill you, unless
you were sentenced by the jury of your peers. Just recently, Bush has
killed 7 human beings in Yemen using unmanned aircraft.  He obviously
breached their right to life.  He acted as a judge and executioner. 
This is certainly against the Constitution, but Bush does not give a
damn.

The right to liberty means that you can not be deprived of your
liberty, and if you are arrested, you should be quickly informed about
the reasons and be given assistance of a lawyer.  You have the right
to be tried by the jury of your peers in the open court, you have the
right to see all the evidence against you, etc.  All this is being
denied to thousands of people in full view of the nation and with
support of corrupt judges, who swore to support the Constitution. 
People are thrown in jail, held incommunicado, even their names are
kept secret.

Bush says that these people are terrorists and do not deserve regular
rights.  Bush forgot a little thing: they are not guilty of anything
until convicted by the jury of their peers.  This is exactly what
Stalin did: he called humans he wanted to kill "enemies of the people"
and they were also held incommunicado, not entitled to any protection
of the law.

And now about pursuit of happiness.  You have the right to pursue
happiness, as long as it is a happiness of the allowed type.  God
forbid if you are a homosexual and you are happy with another man, God
forbid, if you are a lesbian, God forbid if you are many other things.
 Just recently, I haveread about a man, whose idea of happiness was
sucking children's tows. He was jailed for 3 years.  There is no
doubt, the man is a pervert, but for God's sake, how were children
harmed?  What kind of crime is it?  Sexual?  Then we should modify the
child pornography laws, including pictures of children's tows as
forbidden pornography.

Well, you do not have ANY unalienable right.
