Right. The 'argumentum ad populum'. The majority of the people decide what liberty means. How does the majority enforce its view? Force.

Correct. While I fear the tyranny of the majority, it is the least-bad way of effecting a civil society. I'd like to minimize the role majority-morality imposes itself on minorities, but like it or not, it has to happen to a certain degree.

Greetings, Could you tell my by what authority rights are granted? Are they granted individually because we are people? by government? You obviously won't grant authority to a higher power. i'll hang up and listen.

"Why chose me?"

"Well, not you individually, all Jews."
