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. 120421PS *Matthew 7:12
