Criminals have violated the rights of others. They are denied their rights, but they still have their rights.

I don't believe I mentioned Jefferson, or Locke. I'm pretty sure my rights have nothing to do with Thomas Jefferson, or Locke or anyone else. Had Jefferson never wrote the Declaration of Independence and used the words he used, I would still have my unalienable rights.

You can harp on common law all day long, my rights are natural rights based on property and natural law. You seem to have an obsession with what judges and tribunals and courts and governments think and "rule", whereas I could care less about man-made law.

For example, the law says it is illegal for me to smoke weed. I do not drugs, but I definitely have the right to smoke weed if I choose to exercise that right. A government's police force can deny me that right, but they can't take it away from me. I own my body, it is my property. I own the marijuana, it is my property. It is my right to do whatever I wish to do with my property. Which means I can put whatever I want too in my body.

In Alabama it is illegal to gamble. I say I have the right to gamble. I voluntarily exchanged a service (labor) for the Note, thus it is my property and I reserve the right to spend it however I choose.

I have the right to do whatever I want to do, so long as I am not harming another (and by harming another, I mean violating their rights).

What is this "Separation of Church and State" you speak of? Where does it come from?

Past that, "Creator give" simply means by the mere fact that you exist. "I think, therefore I am", well I say "I exist, therefore I have rights". All people have rights, not just Christians. Rights existed before Christianity. The first person on this planet had rights, simply because he existed.

Sara, do I have the right to come into your house?
