Precisely. You only have those rights because of a liberal charter. They are not endowed at birth. At birth, if a baby didn't have a mother to care for it, it would be dead pretty soon.

I lived in the US for 11 years. Never lived in a less free country in my life (and that includes the two countries I lived in and worked in in Africa, the five I lived in the EU, the two I lived in the UK).

So, spare me the lecture about human rights and civil rights, etc. Nobody is entitled to anything. Whatever one has is given by someone else. It's not a right. It's a privilege, and it comes to you through generosity from others.
