"Never mind that they ARE limited or taken away by society all the time" You have set down most of my argument fairly accurately. Perhaps you will now get the rest. Because these inalienable rights exist for ALL people they are incapable of conflict. Society does not "take them away". Society interprets or recognizes (or at least tries to recognise) the natural parameters that must exist in order that these natural rights truly exist for all. The right to liberty is not the right to ALL liberty. The right to life is not the right to ALL life. The right to pursue happiness is not the right to act carte blanche. Inasmuch as people will interact in community there will naturally be conflicts between people. But these conflicts are not conflicts between who does or who does not enjoy these natural rights. Rather...the conflicts are regarding the parameters that must be obeyed in order that natural rights are not violated. Thank you for your input.
