What Human Rights?

[Jenny A]

There's nothing in nature that entitles anyone to anything be they human or tree squirrel.  All human rights are legal rights, or rights that humans argue ought to be legal rights.  Regardless of whether we call them human rights or not, it's very clear that both other humans and/or nature can take them away.  They are alienable.  There is no such thing and an inalienable right.  Life itself can be taken in a heart beat whether you think you have a right to it or not.

Then why do we get so upset when we hear about tyrannical governments? If we don't inherently deserve any more right than what those in power are willing to give us, then why get upset if another country is cool with slavery, for example.

You're confusing a list of rights with a list of things people in our modern western society wish were universal rights.  What upsets us and what is universal are not the same.   And whether we wish them to be rights or not they aren't.  They are violated all the time.  Hence we are upset.
