jennyp, who endows you with your inalienable rights?

???

Reality. The fact that I cannot function as a human being without them. And the fact that the type of society that supports life as a human cannot exist without them. Every historical example of societies working or not to sustain the flourishing of their inhabitants as humans has pointed to individual rights being essential for our survival.

The fact that I cannot function as a human being without them. And the fact that the type of society that supports life as a human cannot exist without them.

Nonsense. The vast majority of human beings in history existed in societies that did not recognize natural rights, other that, I suppose, the right of the strong to lord over the week.
