"Da Mayor" At Work

The problem, as I see it, is there are too many small groups fighting for only certain rights, what we need is for them all to combine to fight for all rights.

Rights conflict with each other.

Not if they're RIGHTS rather than special interest privileges.
The theory of individual rights maintains it can't be a right if it
conflicts with another persons rights. Also, that rights are "negative" and
that positive rights can't exist (i.e., someone has to do something for you
or give something to you).

Rights conflict with each other.

Not if they're RIGHTS rather than special interest privileges.

My right to breathe, your right to smoke.
My right to sleep, your right to fly.
My right to free speech, your right to privacy and freedom from slander.
My right to swing my arms, your right to place your nose in the way.
My right to safety, your right to operate those newfangled aerothingies.
My right to shoot machine guns, your right to domestic tranquility.
My right to deal drugs, your right to to raise children in peace.

The list is endless. You may consider some of these to be "privileges",
but do you really think that rights are never in conflict?

Try finding out what the term "negative rights" means.

Even before that, try finding out what "RIGHTS" means.

And please don't barf back something you were force-fed in school.
