: To change all political systems in the world food must be constitutionally guaranteed to everyone, without preconditions. Withholding food should be viewed as being tantamount to biological weapon of mass destruction, and should be classed as a crime against humanity, whether used within a country or internationally, and whether it used overtly or covertly.

I knew that by the end of this oratory there would be a call
for the inalienable right to food. If withholding food is evil,
then God is evil. His law states that a man who WILL not work
shall not eat. This posting boils down to a very bitter,
inedible broth:

"I am responsible for humanity. Humanity is responsible for me.
I am NOT responsible for myself."

That, Sir, is futility.

There is no simpler refutation of this foolishness than to imagine it's implementation on a desert island with three shipwrecked castaways and one of them getting all into his idealistic freedoms. Good luck buddy.

You have an inalienable right to breathe, don't you? Hold your breath and see if your inalienable right not to breathe kicks in. Good luck again.
