And perhaps one of our follies is the conviction that we have inalienable rights. Who decides what is inalienable, or even, what are our "rights"?

In your welcoming message you wrote: "Freedom can only be secured through vigilant exercise of our "natural-born rights." However, I have come to think that our freedom and values are articulated and secured by the speech and writings of thoughtful persons like yourself and those you have been selecting for Liberty Tree. Our "natural-born rights" have been developed out of social experience such as with the Liberty Tree that I value. Many thanks.
