Let's return to our discussion of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. On its 70th anniversary, the Declaration calls for understanding and action. This week we'll begin discussing Article 16, and we'll be inviting special panelists.
Article 16.
(1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage, and at its dissolution.
(2) Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.
(3) The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.

Later in the hour, we'll talk about the new National Committee officers in the American Solidarity Party and their plans for the future, which, as always, begins...now. (Here one thinks of Peter Maurin's adage "The future will be different if we make the present different.")
