What you fail to grasp is that I am promoting a practical application of restoring meaning to the word 'rights' to groups of people (communities) that are interested in preserving a culture that respects their rights. Under your context, rights have no meaning since they can be violated at will and at this late date, there seems to be no political interest in restoring them.

*********************

You are promoting the idea that communities should get together and decide, in the interest of preserving their culture, to pretend that imaginary "rights" exist, even though a man who's not blinded to reason would know that "rights" are just a way to keep the mass of people quiet while they're told what to do and what to say by their Democratically elected leaders.

That's socialism..

I am promoting no such thing; that is an assumption on your part.
