Civilization requires the infringement of many "basic human rights"

Can I quote you on that one? The Founders felt that civilizations highest goal was the PROTECTION of individual Rights. That the infringement of those Rights was governments highest evil.

Guess that makes you either a Democrat or a dictator. It sure as hell puts you squarely AGAINST the stated purpose of this website.

Protection of individual rights comes through ceding some of those rights to government. Some called it a Social Contract. You no longer have the right to personally punish those who transgress against you. You do not have the "right" to enslave another. Walk naked in town is forbidden. There are many such instances. Living outside of society is much freer in many respects.

You have no right to enter Mexico and become a citizen. You have no right to annoy everyone else. You have no right to tyrannize your family. There are many such examples as I am sure you know even though you pretend otherwise trying to gain rhetorical points from the Ultra cheering section.
