human rights

posted by Sage on Saturday, 12 January, 2008 at 10:17

just saw this on the "news"

"A spokesman said: "The overwhelming conclusion shows 84% of the general public agree it is important to have a law which deals with human rights in Britain.  "...

woah, slow down there a sec.  so that means 16% of people don't agree it's important to have a law that deals with human rights.  thats 3 in 20 people...  that's a little worrying? or is that just me?

Sign of the times?

Maybe they include people like me who figure that human rights are protected adequately by existing laws, and no additional laws are required especially as glorified job-creation schemes for legions of new "experts", "enforcement officers", "human rights welfare officers", "human rights liason co-ordinators" etc etc etc

It's still a little high, and that also deviates a little from the statement.  the question was...  Is it important to have a law that deals with human rights? Not, Are the laws already in place adequate?

Unless it's just bad reporting and they made those figures up.  Ah Well...
