The “right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” in the US is being made an absolute mockery of by #abortion supporters, #jihad supporters, #racism supporters, perpetrators of violence against #LGBT people, people who demand services from businesses who have…

…legal right to refuse service, those who deface religious buildings, the religious who abuse their religious teachings to control their population with violence, sexual abuse, et cetera, the nonreligious who impose their views on the religious because they see themselves as…

…”superior,” and many other people.

I believe you have a right to say your piece and to try to elect people who agree with you. But I do not believe much of these to be liberating.

There are numerous ways one can make sure everyone’s rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are protected that do not involve violence, lawsuits, or the silencing of opponents.

I wish the Internet was more condusive to these ways than the toxic elements.
