19. I realize...
...that the vast majority of people in this cruel world are oppressed and exploited. My point is that they do indeed have these rights, or should I say, they are owed them, even though the government they live under may not recognize them.

My beloved country, inconsistent as it has been in respecting these rights, is supposed to be the one that enshrines them. Now I fear that no one is safe anywhere. If our president can arbitrarily and capriciously determine that anyone can be detained indefinitely without due process, what hope is there anywhere else?
