NFP Columnists - Publishers Notes

ImageIt is inevitable that some countries in the world will never have Human Rights. And certainly not the kind of Human Rights that those in democratically run countries get to enjoy.

Even during those times that we, here in North America, ‘fight’ for human rights, worker rights, woman’s rights, lifestyle rights, etc., we take no real notice to those in other countries still ‘fighting’ for the littlest of basic human rights. The bare-bones stuff.

Tibet, Myanmar, China, North Korea to new a few; the people of those countries will quite likely never see real human rights that cover an assortment of levels, such as free press, free speech, free assembly, etc., let alone worker rights and women’s rights.

Other countries, like those in the Middle East, have no inclination toward many human rights as well, woman’s rights, or whatever they could be called, are a joke; nor will anything become fruitful of those who attempt to put such rights into place.

We hear about rights activists being arrested, tortured, and killed all in the name of free press or human rights. We read about news reports of girls being blinded and scarred by acid being thrown in their faces because they are going to school. Where are the human rights?

No matter how hard the democratic countries try in inflect their policies, no matter how many people demonstrate for a ‘Free Tibet’, they are up against strong inner culture ideals.

In the end whatever group of people who want a democratic system, with human rights and free speech, it is they who will have to fight for it the hardest.

As it is in Afghanistan, the ‘liberators’ can help to beat down the enemy, but if the Afghani people do not help out as did the French Résistance did in the 2nd World War, as many other people do during their quests for freedom, they will not gain control of their own country as a free people.

Freedom, Human Rights, Free Speech, and all the other terms and phrases that represent the essence of the true free human spirit, which are embraced by people and cultures around the world, allow all of us the right to sit at our computers and type out words like these – without someone showing up at the front door with a gun.

That’s the basic difference between those have freedoms, and those who don’t.
