>I believe in only one basic right: The right to be left alone--together with a few rights that hang from there. The rules, laws, agreements, contracts, etc. between people, groups, governments, etc...I consider to be rules, laws, agreements, contracts, etc. I am not afraid to be right when society is wrong. < This is the heart of it. These are your beliefs. One cannot argue with belief. If it was based on perception, or science, we would have something to discuss. But you have taken a leap of faith- I cannot argue with you over that. Well....I could, but it would be pointless and unpleasant for me.

Hey, I couldn't let this go without my $0.02. I think your rights are beliefs. All rights amount to beliefs, IMO. Solon, it seems that you have cemented the notion of your rights in a way that has made them concrete (good pun!) Because they are real to you, they MUST be real. Sorry Solon, but I'm not seeing them. You have to admit that this sounds a lot like the two guys discussing the Jesus sitting on the shoulder of one. One guy says, "Hey, check out my little Jesus sitting on my shoulder." The other guy says, "What little Jesus on your shoulder." "This one right here!" "Uh, I don't see anything." "Are you blind man????!!!" "No. I just don't see any 'Jesus' on your shoulder."
