Exactly, LogicWings. This is a "con game" that is attracting "the suckers" big time these days. Invert the "American idea," and you get this "transnational view" of things. The only way this sort of thing can be brought about politically presupposes the death of America and all things American. One really does wonder when folks are going to "wake up and smell the coffee"....
There is no way there can be rights "in the abstract." Groups do not possess rights, only individuals do. UNLESS -- you separate the idea of "rights" from the idea of "responsibilities." Then you really can work the magic; there are always people who are attracted to the idea of a "free lunch." We might say such people are hopelessly irrational; but there they are.
