RMagick 1.6.1 available at RubyForge

Tim Hunter

11/16/2004 11:33:00 PM

As I promised, I've uploaded a new release of RMagick to RubyForge. RMagick
1.6.1 contains the changes necessary for it to work with ImageMagick 6.1.3
and later. I've tested it with 6.1.4-3.

Check it out, and please report problems.

Where do your rights come from? Do they exist objectively?

Sure they do. That's why you don't have them when, as an American,
you go to other countries. You have only the rights that the other
country's law *says* you have.

Case in point: freedom of speech. If you go to Turkey, for instance,
you don't have the right to insult someone, because they consider it
*their* right not to be insulted, never mind your American "freedom of
speech." Insulting someone in Turkey, if it doesn't get you killed,
will get you a prison sentence. You can bluster about being an
American all you want, it won't help you.

Rights accrue to us in the U.S. because we all agree that we should
have them, and have written laws to enshrine and uphold them. That's
what the abortion argument is about: some people say that women
should have the right to abort, and others say they shouldn't. The
fight will continue *at least* until the right is enshrined in the
Constitution and the Justice Department gets serious about enforcing
it.

So jews had no rights in Nazi Germany? Or did they have
rights, but the Nazis just ignored them?

Your position (legal positivism). My position is the latter.
Which one of us makes more sense?

They don't "come from."

They can be earned, but not "enforced."

At best, a law can only protect your rights. And most laws aren't very
good at that, either.

Countries don't "take away rights," nor do they bestow them.

You can enslave a man, but you can't take away his right to be free.

You /can/ get nourishment from an adult oak, and you don't even need
to boil it.

If they are not legally defined and enforced they are useless.

Pro-Choice is Pro-Freedom

Every illegal alien is a criminal.
No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason.
Deportation upon identification as the only option.

Support H.R. 1940: Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007
Support Senate Joint Resolution 6
Support extending Arizona law to every other state.

Religion is the worst monstrosity ever fostered upon the
human species. Only mental defectives would pay the
slightest attention to it.

Why should any religion be considered a foreign nation
with Ambassadors and diplomatic immunity?

Michael Vick should be stripped naked and put in a pit
with at least a dozen of his dogs.

Oh? Exactly where can this right be found?

You are avoiding the question. If they exist independently of any law or
belief, they must exist objectively. They must come from some source, but
you now say that they don't.

And you are not very good at telling us what the source of these rights are,
or where they are if they are not beliefs represented by laws.

In the Declaration of Independence, and therefore implicit in the
Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution.
