</div>It is the standard Jeffersonian position:<br>
<br>
___<br>
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal,<br>
^^^^ ^^^^^^^<br>
that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights,<br>
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.<br>
---<br>
<br>
As I have mentioned, this list is not exclusive, and the original list<br>
that Brother Thomas came up with had 'property' instead of 'the pursuit of<br>
happiness'. People have argued from that day to this one whether the<br>
substitution was felicitous.<br>
<br>
I have no idea what you mean by 'native title'. Perhaps you will choose to<br>
enlighten me: in any case I wish you joy of your superior knowledge.<br>
