I believe (and I think most people believe) in at least a few rights that can be considered to be inherent to all people. For example, not being expposed to undue suffering, freedom of speech, etc. If I say people have a "right" to free candy bars, that has no real meaning. By their very nature, rights are inherent to the subject and cannot be defined after the fact.
