PROEM & POEM No. 97 - Jefferson, Epicurean or Lockean / Part 2 ~
If the intent was ideological progression or clarification regarding unalienable right(s), then Mr. Jefferson failed miserably, facilitating (perhaps) unintentionally yet incited (quite) dangerously towards further elaborations even exaggerations till present manifestations; unapologetic covetousness per unashamed hedonism heralded unaccountably as “my rights” unendingly. The summum bonum on the matter has digressed to mere preference, consequently no logic, no consistency thus no constraint and no reservation to presumptuously declare, arbitrarily condemn and forcefully act against the individual’s Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent on all matters, therefore against his/her life, liberty and property.
The third Jeffersonian right, the unalienable Pursuit of Happiness, have become the copious denotation, fallacious justification and erroneous summation of all rights conjured thereafter (see Nos. 25-29). Encouraging political otherwise criminal actions to underwrite conjured rights, theft and confiscation are justified even moralized as taxation and eminent domain (or earlier, U.S. Manifest Destiny). To side-note, murder is as well regarded, commended even honored per various politically desired therefore publically funded means; abortion, execution, expansion by invasion hence occupation or annexation. Digressively, if rights can be so presumptuously expanded at the expense of others, likewise with far less ease domestic laws and foreign/military policies.

O Libertatem, carissimum te esse mibi, yet the propensity
Loins for coins as ancient temple harlotry, liberty for subsidy
Chants for grants, exchanges for privileges, sole right recanted
For threshed on floor the mind from body per soul decanted

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
