I have RIGHTS (part 3)

I sent the five Senatorial candidates of the Republican and Democratic Parties the Congressional questionnaire today. I also sent the questionnaire to the four Republican and Democratic candidates for the 18th Congressional District. I still have to do some research for the other Districts. From what I can tell, neither Party lists their primary candidates for the House of Representatives on their state-wide web sites. It doesn’t seem like they want to promote these candidates.

I will not be continuing my Creationism posts today. I do plan to return to them soon.

Then, I plan to answer the response about Iraq. I am sorry for the change in plans. Plans, in reality, often are altered for one reason or another. “The best laid plans … often go astray.” Thank you for your understanding and patience.

How many unborn toddlers were murdered today because of the humanistic, paganish, barbaric decisions of the United States Supreme Court?

I didn’t intend to do another post on this but then a short filler article in the newspaper came to my attention. It was, of all places, on the comics page—Peoria Journal Star, November 15, 2007, page C7.

“Random Kinds of Factness Erin Barrett & Jack Mingo

Living or working with smokers gives you a 24% higher risk of developing lung cancer than if you live in a smoke-free environment.

Each year, 160,000 people die from lung cancer, and 174,000 people were newly diagnosed with it. (Each year about one million unborn babies are MURDERED, but who’s counting?—my addition) About 3,000 of them got it from passive smoking—from living or working with smokers.” (About 3,000 a year get lung cancer because of passive smoking! And lung cancer is just one of the diseases associated with smoking. We haven’t had that many deaths each year fighting the war on terror in Iraq with bullets and bombs exploding everywhere!—my addition)

And smokers claim that they have a “right” to smoke wherever they want to. NOT a chance! Nonsmokers have rights too. They have the right not to be polluted and poisoned by the smoke of rude, inconsiderate smokers. In fact, maybe it is time to start suing those smokers who continue to pollute our air without any regard for our rights!

Which brings up something that I have asked before. Is smoking within an enclosed car with minors in the car a form of child abuse? If leaving a child in a warm/hot car to run into a store to buy something is a form of child abuse, is deliberately poisoning a child in an enclosed car also a form of child abuse? Doesn’t that child also have the right to clean, unpolluted air?

Here is the kicker. According to the Peoria Journal Star’s summary of Illinois’ new smoke free law (September 4, 2007, page B5), “The act prohibits smoking in ‘public places, places of employment, and government vehicles.’” So, smokers can not pollute the air in “public places, places of employment, and government vehicles” but they can in private vehicles with children within the vehicle.

Does that mean that government employees within government vehicles have more rights than children within private vehicles? Does that mean that child abuse in private vehicles is permitted by law? Again, if smoking is harmful, why is it permissible to harm children in private vehicles and not permissible to harm government employees in public vehicles? Does that make sense to you?

Yes, we have rights. WE ALSO HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES!!! The rights of an individual do NOT exist in a vacuum!!!

Yes, we have rights. THE RIGHTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL ENDS WHEN THAT RIGHT INTERFERES WITH THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS. The rights of an individual do NOT exist in a vacuum!!!

Yes, we have rights. WE DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO MURDER OUR UNBORN BABIES. WE DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN HOMOSEXUAL DEBAUCHERY. WE DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO POISON OUR CHILDREN. The rights of an individual do NOT exist in a vacuum!!!

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)
