There are some things that you perceive as being the MOST *BASIC* human rights that the framers of the US Constitution do not agree with. The UN human rights declarations calls for providing a guaranteed income to everybody. The US Constitution does not. What about the problem of people who are capable of working, but who would rather receive welfare handouts instead of getting a job? They all say that they cannot get a job, but this is a lie. Also the UN human rights declaration provides for the mandatory public education of children. The US Constitution does not. What about the parents who don't want to send their children to public school because they don't agree with what is being taught in the public schools? The US Constitution provides for the people to own weapons to provide for their security. There is nothing in the UN human rights declaration recognizing the right of the people to own weapons. Recently the UN attempted to ban the private possession of small arms from all the world's peoples. The proposed ban would be imposed on all nations and on all cultures. The ban would include even all the types of guns which are designed primarily for hunting and recreational uses. Even in todays's very modern and highly developed world there are still many societies whose survival still depends on hunting-and-gathering. The UN resolution would have sought to repress such societies rather than to recognize their right to continue to carry on with their harmless and peaceable ways of living. Also the UN human rights declarations would require that the children living in such societies should be rounded up and transported to government administrated schools very far from their home environment in order that they may receive the "benefit" of mandatory public education. The UN feels that they should be instructed and indoctrinated in some ideas and laws and customs and religions that their parents want to protect them from. Also the government wants to instruct them in the language which the government thinks should be the correct language for them to speak. When the last original native speaker dies, his language dies with him because there is nobody left who can teach it, thanks to mandatory public education. The UN aspires for unlimited World Government and very limited world languages and cultures and religions. Why should all the world's peoples regard the UN human rights declarations as being so protective of the best interests of humanity? True freedom and responsible democracy arises from respect for human life and from appreciation for human diversity and individuality.
