Obama's creator had only one stipulation. Eventually, the exchange will be completed.

Not inalienable; unalienable.
Both a distinction and a difference.
As the Creator intended. - 7/7/12, 6:33 PM

Unalienable rights are incapable of being sold and transferred. They are a gift from the creator to the individual (i.e. a consequence of being human) and cannot be surrendered or taken under any circumstances.
Inalienable rights cannot be surrendered or transferred without one's consent. - 7/8/12, 3:40 AM

Also, the word "each" is singular, which requires the singular "is," rather than the plural "are." "Each of us is... ."
Maybe that's why he was a lecturer instead of a professor.

I have to take exception with the term, sorry.
If Obama violates basic human rights, the hand of God will not come down out of the sky, and squish him with his divine thumb ( although I'd pay to see that ).
Rights only exist because we are willing to go to the wall and put our lives on the line to defend them.
If that is not the case, they will be chipped away and lost, despite claims of inalianalability.
Bet on it. - 7/8/12, 1:05 PM

And if you want to be religious about this:
Free will means that bad people will be able to do bad things to good people, since we are not God's robots, and have to earn our place in Heaven or Hell ... and that God helps those who help themselves. - 7/8/12, 1:08 PM
