My position is simple enough ... no rights are inalienable, all rights must be granted and most people (believing they have a specific "right") don't seem to understand that their possession of that specific granted right means that they have the responsibility to grant others that same right.
IOW I don't believe in rights as such, I believe in responsibilities ... I believe I have the responsibility to grant you (and you and you and you ...) freedom of speech and our perceived right to freedom of speech is because we all (well most of us, at least when it suits us) buy into that responsibility and grant others that "right", so much so that it has now become enshrined in law.
