re: #427 Girth

WTF are you trying to argue here? People disagree, so therefore we can’t have rights?

The question is “are rights inherent?” If they are, where are they from?

In some places and times, rights were defined by what the king said they were. If Howard was the king’s favorite and Bill was out of favor then Howard had a “right” to kill bill.

I like that the founders described rights as coming from God. It makes them inherent, and not at the whim of man.
