Last night in my The Constitution Made Simple class we talked about the difference between Unalienable (or Inalienable) Rights and just plain rights. Our mentor made the distinction that a "right" is the "right to do what is right or just", not just to do what you want. We talked about the impossibility of believing in unalienable rights if you don't believe in God, as where would the authority to protect those rights come from?
There are still some things I need to mentally hash out and Steve suggested I look through RJ Rushdoony to see what he has to say on the subject.
I started perusing a couple of new books yesterday, they are added to my shelf. Will post as a I read more, but so far, the little bit of "Meet Mr. Smith" by Eric and Leslie Ludy is very interesting.
I am looking forward to a little extra sleep tomorrow and attending a Mozart symphony concert with Steve tomorrow night!
