IAN: Does this mean you could blow up the U.S.
but not a person? The fact is, nobody has any
rights but the rights they claim and the rights
others agree they have, since rights are simply
an intellectual construct not existing in the
objective reality apart from the ability of
those that claim rights to enforce them. So
perhaps you do not give rights to many
people, only one person at a time.
Not sure I see the difference.
