Here's another thought: ALL your rights are belomg to us.
Well, actually if you track into the "intellectual" discussion going on in academia and NGO-ville, you will find a mighty effort to eliminate "rights" as pesky impedements to civil discussion, and to recast the whole founding philosophy of the Constitution and such in terms of "government by discussion", meaning that anything goes as long as somebody (a charmed and select group of somebodies) talks about it publicly. In other words some sort of meta-NPR telling the populace what they should be thinking about.
That early light of Liberty -- John Stuart Mills -- seems to have coined that phrase "government by discussion", to highlight the benefits of open deliberative bodies in making laws over more tribunals, monarchs and dictators more limited in number and access. The term has been co-opted by the tweed elites, per Lord Atlee's epigram I gave above.
