Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are the rights of individuals not groups. The only actual group the founders envisioned was “we the people”, a collection of unique individuals. Natural rights, human rights and constitutional rights are possessed by each of us as people. The concept of groups created from a mass of individuals in order to coalesce a monolith upon which to bestow rights is anathema to our founding.
Exchanging the uniqueness of people for the sameness of the group is the key to controlling people completely. Group-think overwhelms personalities and the homogenation of each soul becomes the elixir of the elite seeking to control them.
Governor Cuomo divides the state into “zones”, color-codes them according to the infection rate of Covid, and then commands residents to perform in a certain way, i.e. wear a mask, stay at home, observe a curfew, limit activity in your own home. This is nothing more than fabricating groups to nullify the rights of the individual. That is called tyranny.
