people. My view is very simple and consistent, rights come from the people and they decide what rights they choose to honor and enforce.

That is why throughout human history, and even today, you see different societies with differing views on what their rights are. Western cultures tend to focus more on individual rights and we form or societies with those rights in mind. Eastern cultures tend to look at communal rights and find many of our views foreign.

Most Americans believe we have rights to freedom, Justice and privacy. Those are very modern concepts that were nowhere in existence five hundred years ago. The rights to voting and education were hard to find just one hundred years ago. We now have groups pushing for rights to housing and health Care. Rights are what we collectively decide they are.
