If these rights were ordained by men, then men can take them away.
It may sound corny, but it is the basis of our rights - even if God does not exist, the concept that certan rights come from a higher being is a wonderful concept.
Serge, I do not expect you or Alex to understand this concept...

I haven't seen God fighting British in 1776,
I was mistaken by thought that it was human being George Washington who fought for those rights and YES,
they were given by the men and med indeed can take them away....
like seizures and freezes of funds, for example, in RICO and drug cases BEFORE one is pronounced guilty by the court of law!
You think God or Founding Fathers had THIS in mind?
Bottos, who had the first hand expereince of being on the recieving end of things,
might disagree....
