Whims Are Not Rights

It started with the whim"....all men are created equal..."which is included in the second paragraph of the Declaration Of Independence.It was the rational for the founding fathers to object and revolt English rule.But if they really believed it why then did they wage a genocide on the native indians? No. It was lawyer talk.In this usage it was fancy. We are in fact known by our differences. But the seed was planted. From that seed came the Civil War which ostensibly was fought to free the kitchen help whose immediate relatives were still in Africa eating termite larvae.But they were our equal.The real cause of the Civil War was tariffs and taxation and growing power of central government.Then came the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The blacks we freed had many children who thought it would be easier to get ahead if they burned down parts of urban cities and demand to be left alone in their pursuits. But those pursuits cost money and please keep the checks coming --or else.The Civil Rights Act carried additional protected classes who wanted some of this respect. Aretha Franklin covered it. And now a queer too far has demanded it's rights. The notional transgender sans operation wants its whims made into rights. Sorry.Not in my space.There exists more technology and legal apparatus and fiat money than good or wholesome ideas on how to use them.There exists 7 billion humans---too too many.Many will have to keep their whimsy to themselves. Maybe Zuckerbergs Oculus head set would do?
