Human Rights

It's all too true.
You have to get up and stand up for your rights.
You're lucky if you live in a situation where at least some of your "rights" are recognised...but never ever take them for granted.
The right to an education?
Health? Water? Housing?
The more enlightened we become (are we becoming more enlightened?), the better the chance of scoring a few good things.
But how long ago was it that women were given the right to vote?
And even that right is not enshrined in the laws of everey land.
So be strong, be aware, and don't ever imagine that what happens now will be happening of necessity in the future...remember the holocaust, if that is helpful...
