Platt,
"endowed by their creator" do we have a "creator"?
while I do respect the ideal of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
you however seem not to, per your previous posts you seem to think that civil rights is "slouching
toward Gomorrah" and per Bork, the reason why western civilisation
is on the decline.
how do you plead?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed."
-- Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
