Y E S ! ! ! ! ! ! We hold this truth to be self evident. That I could rate this with innumerable stars an incalculable number of times. It is true, inalienable rights may for a time be crushed but, canNOT be disjoined from the individual sovereign.

This is the foundation of a free society. Rights are not granted by other men -- they are inherent, inseparable, and a faculty of life itself.
