More From Leonard Peltier

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

A gun can be dangerous. but a gun can protect you, you can hunt for food with it - you know, the tool itself is a tool. the intention of the party using the tool is a part of the process, right? you know: the knife cuts the steak, stabs the person, saves somebody from danger, cuts somebody out of a car.
Party Cutting Gun
And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

Let me have my tax money go for my protection and not for my prosecution. let my tax money go for the protection of me. protect my home, protect my streets, protect my car, protect my life, protect my property...worry about becoming a human being and not about how you can prevent others from enjoying their lives because of your own inability to adjust to life.
Home Car Worry
Human rights' are a fine thing, but how can we make ourselves sure that our rights do not expand at the expense of the rights of others. a society with unlimited rights is incapable of standing to adversity. if we do not wish to be ruled by a coercive authority, then each of us must rein himself in...a stable society is achieved not by balancing opposing forces but by conscious self-limitation: by the principle that we are always duty-bound to defer to the sense of moral justice.
Adversity Rights Self
Any group or "collective," large or small, is only a number of individuals. a group can have no rights other than the rights of its individual members. in a free society, the "rights" of any group are derived from the rights of its members through their voluntary individual choice and contractual agreement, and are merely the application of these individual rights to a specific undertaking... a group, as such, has no rights.

The rights of the people who have done terrible things are hard to defend. you have to keep pointing out, the question is the process to determine whether they've done the terrible things.
Rights People Done
I respect the rights of those who do not share my beliefs...but to teach my faith to my children...and to share it with anyone who will listen...that is my right too!
Children Rights Belief
The idea of human rights and freedoms must be an integral part of any meaningful world order. yet, i think it must be anchored in a different place, and in a different way, than has been the case so far. if it is to be more than just a slogan mocked by half the world, it cannot be expressed in the language of a departing era, and it must not be mere froth floating on the subsiding waters of faith in a purely scientific relationship to the world.
Meaningful Thinking Rights
Terrorism doesn't just blow up buildings; it blasts every other issue off the political map. the spectre of terrorism - real and exaggerated - has become a shield of impunity, protecting governments around the world from scrutiny for their human rights abuses.
