This is nonsense and should be treated as such.  The problem is that too often we concentrate on human rights without thinking about our responsibilities as citizens of a democracy.  I propose instead that the Government EXPANDS the Human Rights Act to include responsibilities as well as rights.  These should include:\r\nthe responsibility to look out for one's neighbours;\r\nthe responsibility to vote;\r\nthe responsibility to educate oneself as well as possible;\r\nthe responsibility to try to support oneself through one's own work;\r\nthe responsibility to do nothing to make one's neighbours lives worse; and\r\nthe responsibility to make no attempt to avoid paying one's proper taxes even if the methods used are not otherwise illegal.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-10-30T16:37:58.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:28.556Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:36:13.801Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-10-30T16:37:58.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
