If they are rights, why doesn't everyone have them? What you have there is a list of things I'd like everyone to have, but not a list of things everyone does have are even a list that could be given to everyone.
Just because someone else won't let a person practice their rights, doesn't mean they don't rightfully have them. That's why we get upset when we hear about someone being oppressed, etc. Because they are being stripped of practicing a right that they are inherently entitled to.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
