I'm afraid I'm a bit tired of hearing about Human Rights and wonder why the term Human Duties isn't nearly so often heard - in fact never.
If old people have a right to be cared for in hospital, there is a corresponding duty on their family to see that this is being carried out.
If children have a right to education, their parents have a duty to see that they are properly fed and rested before they go to school.
Each right has its parallel duty. Let's try to think of it that way to make Society work better.
This blog is a plea for common sense in public policy. Our leaders don't seem to have any. They just make daft rules for us to follow. We need to assert our right to use our own good sense instead of ticking boxes which can only say 'yes' or 'no'.
