Human Rights 2

I remember being taught in High School that we
all have human rights, some of which are civil rights                                                                                    
protected by The U. S. Constitution as well as many rights                                                                           
endowed by God. We were also taught that 'my rights end                                                                                             

where the next person's rights begin. Mixed in and permeating                                                                             
the entire subject matter of human relations was what was known                                                                    
as the Golden Rule.  This Golden Rule came directly from the mouth of                                                                              
Christ himself.  Namely, do unto others as you would have them do to you.*                                                                                                                              

Human rights as implemented by The United Nations extend beyond                                                                                       
national borders and are subject to be enforced by international law.                                                                                            
Some nations who publicly back 'human rights' are the worst violators                                                                                                               
within their own borders and have no intention of enforcing human rights       if such rights conflict with their own national or international agenda.
Notwithstanding, if there were no governmental principles and policies,      this world would be an ever-flowing holocaust, a 'hell on earth' with every man for himself.
