We Have No "Right to Happiness"

No, but we have the right to be left alone (unless we harm someone) and CHOOSE to be happy. Slavers have defined us exercising out "right to be left alone" as an assault on "common interest", another way of saying we are guilty (from the perspective of slavers) of the original sin of "refusal to be subservient".

THINK about it, and CHOOSE wisely:

Darwin and Evolution PROVES: Survival EQUALS ability to adapt to environment EQUALS ability to CHOOSE correctly EQUALS freedom.

The concept of the right to be left alone dates back to a 1928 Supreme Court wiretapping decision called Olmstead vs. the United States in which the Supreme Court Justice Brandeis said "the protection guaranteed by the amendments (of the Constitution) is much broader in scope. The makers of our Constitution undertook to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness. They recognized the significance of man's spiritual nature, of his feelings and of his intellect . . . They sought to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions, and their sensations. They conferred as against the government the right to be left alone -- the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men."

Of course, Orwell warned us: Anything can be rationalized away by subverting the REAL meaning of underlying words and concepts thus destroying all knowledge built on them. Redefine or limit the scope of "equality" and, you subvert all law.
