The Right to Keep and Bear Arms vs.
Natural Rights.
What seems
conspicuous to me is the omission of the very basic "natural
rights" ("natural right"--a basic right that ensures that an
individual can function properly as a member of the society) in the
Constitution, particularly the omission of the right to sleep.
If one is deprived of this basic right, one stops functioning
properly--being deprived of sleep, people can no longer think
clearly for themselves after a few sleepless nights and become a
burden on the society. A prolonged deprivation of sleep can drive
people mad and not fully responsible for their actions.
One could think at first that the right to sleep should be included
in the Constitution (who would want to have people around who
cannot think clearly, and who might even become fully mad?),
especially seeing that the right to keep and bear arms is
included. After all, some people can go without keeping and bearing
arms for very long periods of time without any discernible signs of
any damage (either mental, or physical), which is not the case when
the natural right to sleep is not being observed.
What's up?
What would happen if the right to sleep would be guaranteed?
I, personally, think that a very interesting scenario would evolve;
one that would affect the whole world in a very significant way. I
think that if this right would be guaranteed, this alone would
result in a much more relaxed and much more sustainable human
society globally.
