Amazing video series, thanks for posting this.

Be sure you check out my pt 5. I have multiple, one has sound, one does not.

Great VID!- We are living at the dawning of a new age, an age when man begins to take the next step of understanding, an age where individuals are the worlds most valuable resource.

One who cannot conceive of themselves as individually strong and valuable can feel strong only as a member of a large organization or a mass movement with which they identify.

The sun rises on the age of the individual

Not to get too philosophical, but you mentioned my looking at things through too modern a lens. A truth is always true; then, now, later. I.E. 2+2, sunrise, birth and death.

In ancient tribes/civilizations there were classes of people; hunters, gatherers, weavers, etc... In order to be considered a member of these classes one had to show proficiency, to earn the position. "As then now"

Force is used to get things NOT rightly yours, or to protect those things.

That's my best explanation.

[UtubeMyAccountName]

Here are a few examples of civil rights; to drive a car, to fly a plane, to be a doctor, or mechanic, etc..

To be able to do any of these things you must pass a required set of tests, and certifications, etc... If a person doesn't fulfill, and/or maintain the requirements to do a certain thing, they lose the RIGHT to do it.

Civil rights are by definition political/social rights, so society sets the standards.

The problem is people often confuse civil rights, with natural rights.

@UMACN: you just got done mentioning unalienable and civil rights, did you not?

We both agree that unalienable rights we are born with.

We disagree on the latter type of rights - civil. How do we get civil rights? Above you said they must be earned. But how do we earn them?

I think you are being too modern. This video goes all the way back to the dawn of man...

[UtubeMyAccountName]

I don't know what you mean by "give them out". Give them TO who, FROM who?

A persons natural state is liberty, No one gives it to you. When men form society we agree to certain, specific, "civil constraints", that are not supposed to infringe upon our natural, individual rights.

Have you ever read Common Sense by Thomas Paine, or On Liberty by John Stuart Mill. If not, they are public domain and can easily be found on the web. As an individualist, I think you would get something from them.

[PeacefulKancer]

But if we never fought for them, then how would we have been able to give them out?

[UtubeMyAccountName]

Peaceful, I am and Individualist, as well as a Constitutional Conservative. The difference between unalienable (natural) rights, and civil (other) rights, is that natural rights are inherent in every individual; as in "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", and civil rights must be earned; as in a drivers license, or the respect of one's peers.

The only fighting one does for their rights, natural, or civil is to KEEP them not acquire them.

[PeacefulKancer]

Unalienable rights we are born with.

Others, are fought for.
