Everyone Has Intrinsic Rights
“In the ancient empires of Babylonia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, only those whom rulers regarded as their peers had value, or what the Romans called dignitas.” —Elaine Pagels
Rights were bestowed at the discretion of the ruler. So here we are 2,000 years later, and an exclusive group of bigots, ostensibly holding power in Washington D.C., wants to take us back to that era so long ago. It would be disgusting if it weren’t so repulsive.
