When we say that we hold individual rights to have inalienable rigts, we must mean just that. Inalienable means that which we may not take away, suspended, infringed, restricted or violated — not ever, not at any time, not for any purpose, not by anyone, not by any government whatsoever.
You cannot say that “man has inalienable rights except in this situation, or that situation or on every second Tuesday,” just as you cannot say that “man has inalienable rights except in an emergency,” or “man’s rights cannot be violated except for a good purpose.”
Either man’s rights are inalienable, or they are not. You cannot say a thing such as “semi-inalienable” and consider yourself honest or sane. When you start making conditions, reservations and exceptions, you admit that there is something or someone above man’s rights, who may violate them at his discretion. Who? Why, society—that is, the Collective. For what reason? For the good of the Collective. Who decides when rights should be violated? The Collective. If this is what you believe, move over to the side where you belong and admit that you are a Collectivist. You do not want men to have inalienable rights you want the right to rule over your fellow man. Your a slaver.
