Kind of like how evolution is just a response to the environment i guess, our rights would be the same way-- responses to existing, and how to exist.

i just wanted to bring up something completely boring and irrelevant.

intriguing. Now I'm curious. How have rights that are inalienable different now then they were say 200 years ago? What rights do we value now that we didn't then and vice versa? Where do we draw the line of our rights? What different rights do other cultures have that we don't or that they are denied?
