Hubert O'Hearn

Be Seeing You description Quoting Elia Kazan, Hubert O'Hearn says of himself, 'It's been a long and frequently lively life.'

As a reviewer he has contributed to and edited for some of the most prestigious literary and music magazines in North America and Europe. He has founded and directed a repertory theatre, written six hit plays, been a speechwriter and essayist in the field of Human Rights, and in his heart of hearts he claims to be a sportswriter. He has equally known considerably personal pain. Hubert O'Hearn has, not once but twice been dead on an operating table. Much more hurtful than that he lost his beloved fianc e Kimberly to the effects of a brain aneurysm. He has written and spoken clearly and unflinchingly about the resultant battle with Depression that led him to emigrate to the beautiful land of his childhood dreams - Ireland. Many people have urged Hubert O'Hearn to write a formal memoir, however he refuses to because, 'I know how all the stories end.' Besides that, his life can be found in his work. For a writer, work is always personal. As Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner would say, Be seeing you.

Human Rights are those freedoms intrinsic to our nature as human beings. They are not defined by courts; although courts may protect them. They are not legislated by elected bodies; although elected bodies may choose to codify them and so instruct the courts. They are not voted upon, debated, or subject to an either/or choice. They can and have been subject to interruption, abandonment and perversion; however those are acts performed by men against men - they do not touch the intrinsic truthful nature of Human Rights. As the American television journalist Rachel Maddow said: But here's the thing about rights. They're not actually supposed to be voted on. That's why they're called rights.
