There must be if it can be cited in a State Constitution and that supreme law of the land of a State.
Then please name one right, just one, that cannot be taken away from you.
Unalienable rights are a philosophical ideal that we are allowed to conceive of and work towards under all conditions. They are an ideal because the concept enables our survival and evolution.
What can you point out that enables those things to a greater degree?
I point to reality and understanding of human nature. I am unimpressed with mythical ideals which ultimately translate to "I want". You have the right to speak your mind not because it is an unalienable right, but because our laws say you do and our society lives by those laws. It is the very structure of our government that protects you, the structure you seem to want to change. Take away that structure and you have no rights at all, unalienable or otherwise. Like it or not, the government is one of the glues which hold this rather precarious situation together.
The ideals address needs, not wants.
You are against ideals, you are against the constitution. You have no plan. You have no morals and ethics. You have no hope.
What you think is a need is just a want. I am unimpressed with ideals, I am for the Constitution. But when I talk about the Constitution, I am talking about the actual document, not some ideal you wish to replace it with.
As to the rest, you are free to think as you please. It does not matter to me at all.
Hah! Now you've exposed your level of intelligence or lack of integrity or both.
Are you going to try and say you do not need your life, and instead you only want it?
