You might not deserve freedom then!

  For everything that's wrong in the United States at least the creators of the nation believed, enough to memorialize in it's founding documents, that it is self evident that that certain freedoms should be absolute weather or not earned or deserved...

    Universal rights are only true as long as people don't take their freedoms for granted. The rights we enjoy today were paid for with tears and blood.

      I guess what I'm getting at that you might have missed is that "rights", especially "unalienable rights" are things that by their very definition do not have to be earned in order to be deserved. Otherwise, what would they be?

        They are useful human constructs, but only in places where they are respected and defended.
