A right exists regardless of whether, or not, it can be guaranteed by the govm't. Govm'ts role is to protect rights, but there can be no guarantees.

I guess what I mean is that the government could possibly (and should) guarantee/protect them. For Rights like "freedom to have a soul", the government could never address problem. I was leaning more towards the physically "doable" end of things, because of the many etheral rights that the Left would assert as "real" if it weren't stated... like the Right to good Karma, the Right to high self-esteem, the Right to be free from ever being inconvenienced, etc.

I am of the opinion that rights are for the most part intangible things, things the government shouldn't be doing to us such as the right to privacy and a right to worship, while the left believes in the right to tangible things such as the right to free housing and the right to free healthcare.
