Not all "rights" are rational, of course. We are rationalizers..not entirely rational...as it has been famously said. (I would say none are, if we're calling them "objective things")
I was of the opinion that rights were largely granted by the majority, revoked by the majority, and that we had system in place to determine whether or not we should revoke the right to revoke the right..as it were, in cases where we are unsure if the majority is making a good decision.....
(or the minority of course..really, whoever is in power)
Honestly, you're not sure if violence is innate to human nature, that violence isn't something that defines us...............?
