The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was drafted in 1948, after the grave epoch of the Holocaust, by a commitee headed by Elanor Roosevelt. This document is the blueprint of our natural born rights. I wonder if Elanor Roosevelt ever imagined that in the 21st century, when we were supposed to have flying cars, 100% solar energy, humans custom made in test tubes and they eyes of Big Brother, that we would still be againstt gays getting married, still a two-party bickering system and most damning of all, besides the Republicans, most of the world has never even known, not even heard of these rights.
