The US doesn't have a human rights act. It has one of the worst human
rights records of any country in the world today.

What's ABH stand for?

I'm an American who has given up on internationalism since Sept '01.
Actually, there's some interesting travel to be made domestically.

rofl. Only in the world of fantasy relativism.

The US doesnt need a human rights act, it has a near perfect system of
limited government. Easily the most successful in the history of mankind.

It doesn't need one. It has the Bill of Rights instead.

Actual Bodily Harm. Would translate to Assault and Battery.

Good point about the domestic travel. It's also better for the
environment if it uses less energy in transport and has less
impact on natural sites.
