Rights are only meaningful with respect to other individuals when one lives in a group. If one did not live in a society, if one lived alone, if a man WAS an island, we wouldn't be discussing rights- they would be meaningless. It is because we live collectively that we need rights in the first place. not that I think collectivity is the be all end all- you know I don't. But there probably is a happy balance between the individual as an individual and the individual as part of a group- but damn if I know where that happy balance is.

And as an aside I am thoroughly annoyed- I step away for an hour and find 51 new posts. That is EXCESSIVE people. I can't keep up.
