Only individuals have natural rights. Aggregates do not.

Very odd. Groups of individuals may act collectively to protect individual rights, but you say there is no such thing as the "group." If the police(or a single policeman) are/is attacked, does (he) not represent my individual rights? And is that attack not an attack on my rights directly? And every other member of the group that policeman represents? If someone is systematically attacking my neighbors, is it not my obligation to act? Why do people act collectively at all? And you say an aggregate cannot have rights? What's the point of "providing for the common defense?"
