I was going to go down the serial killer route.... There isn't a universal right to life and property; some cultures live in such a way that there is no property ownership-- everyone in the society has equal access to all items, and they may simply leave them behind when they move on; is it temporary ownership, soceity ownership, or no ownership-- up to you to assume, I guess.. If you take a gander outside of the box, you'll notice that most of what you believe, know, and agree to be true, is only so based on your society, and is in no way universal.. Everything is based on society, and it's up to us to adhere to what our society believes to be right and wrong, or not to and suffer the consequences (good, or bad). Focus on my above use of the word agree.. We all agree with what we are comfortable with or what we are pushed into; that doesn't mean it's universal, that just means we have validated it ourselves in a way that we can agree with it. --Will > > > (For the record, the above scenario is purely fictional and is meant > to illustrate the universal nature of the human right to life and > property ownership.
