Good. Nothing is troubling me.
To say that, in your opinion, people "ought not" be enslaved is to make
a moral judgment that slavery is wrong and freedom is right.
This is all there is to rights. There is nothing mystical about their
existence. We can agree to the existence of moral truths in the same way
that we can agree to the existence of mathematical truths, and with the
same kind of realist interpretations.
