"RIGHTS".. are those freedoms accorded to weaker parties by more powrful ones. So, in reality, 'rights' are in fact 'priveleges'. Unless u subscribe to the idea that God revealed a set of rights (which I most definitely do) u have NO basis.. to speak about "rights" in any other manner than in terms of power relationships.

Apart from that, its purely speculative and sentimental.
Greg.. u, along with many of the left (and many on the right) allowed yourselves to be shaped and conditioned by the latest philosophical trends.. apparently without questioning where they came from, and thus in my humble opinion, need some serious counselling.
