Who is responsible for defending these rights
God doesn't do a very good job of protecting these--just ask Nelson Mandela about how long he was in prison. --Gulik5 12:16, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
- When I read the phrase, "unalienable rights" in its historical context in the U.S. the cynic in me tends to think of the Billie Holiday song: Strange Fruit. It has always bothered me - especially the line that says: Then the sudden smell of burning flesh. It seems hanging wasn't enough. AlanE (talk) 00:13, 6 November 2016 (EDT)
- I can't think of very many gift givers who are responsible for defending any gifts, once given. It's always the gift recipient who needs to defend what's been received. Progressingamerica (talk) 00:51, 6 November 2016 (EDT)
