Quote:No, rights don't have to be earned. They are acknowledged to be innate
There's the rub;I do not recognise ANY innate rights.
The rights I enjoy and deeply appreciate are the result of an accident of birth. My rights have been established by custom and law and are maintained by custom and the rule law. Period.
A privilege maybe earned or simply ascribed. EG the privileges traditionally granted to say the inherited aristocracy. These privileges are ascribed due to birth,and in no ways earned. This after the initial enoblement of a forebear, which may or may not have been earned.
Diplomats are obliged to be civil to complete arseholes, drongos,dropkicks,fuckwits and diverse types of obnoxious twerps; I am not so obliged.
