I replied in haste to tinybear, and I was replying to which rights are objective, not absolute.
I thought Tiny was asking me what freedoms are objective..... my mistake.
Yes, due process can be used to limit rights of an individual if they abuse the rights of others.
Foxfyre, whats up with all the bold letters? |
Sorry about the bold letters. I had already inserted them to differentiate from your comments and then, as an afterthought, went ahead and put your stuff in quote boxes. It was too much trouble at that point to go back and remove all the bold formatting.
I do think, however, that regulation within this context may address abuse of rights of others, but is not necessarily to avoid 'abuse of rights of others' but rather to effect an orderly society that is pleasing to the majority or most effectively accomplishes other purposes. For instance, the constitution will not allow any form of my speech to be forbidden--I cannot be punished by law for any thought expressed--but our lawmakers and their delegates/enforcer can certainly dictate where I will not be permitted to speak those thoughts.
