Short shameful confessions

[larryhammer]

It is a shameful thing that it is even open for debate whether a group of citizens is entitled to the full rights and protections of citizens.

Shameful and hateful.

"Inalienable rights" means just that, damn it.

Yes.

While in practice, ascribing onerous duties to citizens, of the "rich and poor alike have a duty not to sleep under bridges" variety, is indistinguishable from denying them full rights and protections, there is a superficial theoretical distinction which can lead the ordinarily well-meaning into grave error. Such an error may be more akin to contempt or lack of respect than outright hatred.

Absolutely.
