So Martin Luther King is the authority on what rights come from where? Can you prove right come from an invisible friend? Can you enforce these rights, if no actual real people agree with them? How about the more logical theory that rights are what people say they are, and they only matter if other people will honor them. You can pull all the rights you want out of the invisible ass of your invisible friend, but if no one else agrees with these rights, and if you can't enforce them, do they exist?
