Don't lists like these only trivialize the rights we do have? Ever-increasing rights-talk makes rights look more and more like wish lists rather than sound principles with intellectual foundations. We don't need lists like these, any more than we need lists saying "I have the right to pet my dog" or "I have the right to want a mountain cabin resort with trained flying caribou"

Amen.

Dumb_Ox didn't seem to have any productive suggestions for a new context for the discussion of civlility. Do you?

Shalom.
