SilverSurfer -- of course, 'life, liberty and property' was the original formulation by Locke, back when 'property' could and did include human beings held as slaves or indentured servants -- and also of course, the Founders, in particular Jefferson and Franklin, expressly rejected that formulation, instead using 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' in the Declaration of Independence -- so that idiotic piece you invoked, citing that statement by Bastiat you quoted, is pure asshat fantasy not, and never, properly applicable to this nation (and see in particular [items linked in] http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=3967329 and preceding and following, and http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=54833454 and preceding and following)



Greensburg, KS - 5/4/07

"Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty."
from John Philpot Curran, Speech
upon the Right of Election, 1790
