“Yeah. All I am concerned with is the rules on the planet on which I live. I live on Planet US.”
The rules on planet US vary at least somewhat from state to state. Maybe you only live on planet Kentucky. Considering only the rules of the state or other organized society in which you live kind of hampers discussion of what those rules should be. Whether statutory, common law, or customary, what those rules should be should stem from more basic rights whether those basic rights be termed as unalienable, natural, fundamental, founding principles, or whatever.
Funny you mention that. Yes, I feel the name of the country I live in is “Kentucky”. It is surrounded by other countries that share a fairly common language and are somewhat linked in the same way France and Germany are linked. But it is really its own country.
I used to live in a country called Washington, in a city called Seattle. It was really a great place when I moved there in 1967. But it changed.
