Universal Contradictions...

Below are a couple articles from the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Please read the articles, especially the high-lighted portions.

Article 26

1. Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.

2. Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.

3. Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.

Article 20

1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.

2. No one may be compelled to belong to an association.

Do you notice any contradictions?....

The UN says no one may be compelled to belong to an association, yet they declare elementary education to be compulsory!

I guess the following article doesn't apply to elementary age children...

Article 4

No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.

Words Of A Prophet...

"Prophets who in their heart know themselves to be false cannot prevail against those filled with the power of sincere conviction. Nothing can corrupt ideas. Neither by money nor by other rewards can one hire men for the fight against ideas…. What is needed to stop the trend towards socialism and despotism is common sense and moral courage."
Ludwig von Mises

Religion And Politics Don't Mix....

"Under such a framework, religion is perfectly legitimate, libertarian, and individualist. Think of the Amish, who have all but entirely seceded from the state, which wishes to further and further try and regulate them. They have their laws, many of which I would never adhere to and I don’t understand. But the benefit of freedom is that they cannot impose their laws onto me."
Angelo Mike
