...... Beware...grin....
I'll contest that "rights" come from a higher authority. Instead, I see them as being generally blatantly obvious. Any creature on the planet has every "right" we have; we have just codified them in ways beneficial to ourselves. But every creature has the basic right of self-determination, existance, expression, pursuit of happiness, being armed, etc. This is not something that God gave humans. It's just what... is.
But that's not a logically defensible position. It requires that we first grant the existance of a God and of a soul.
Jeff: Thanks for the warning......
No "right" is blatantly obvious....and "just is"....
As to the rest of it,there is so much there that is flawed.....I just don't know where to start......
