It seems to me we might be in the twilight of the era of human rights. Now that the foundational concept of inalienable rights has been rejected by the ruling elites as well as the masses it is only a slow march backward to subjugation.

This, sadly, is how I see things progressing.

Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
