WHO should be the one or ones to define our rights? WHO? Your very question demonstrates the poverty of your "philosophy."
History, custom, law and our representative systems of government, among other things, all play important roles in establishing, defining and protecting our rights.

It figures, Roscoe. So you'd favor letting R. Kelly define pedophilia. It's the same thing, after all. Government does NOT DEFINE our rights. We are BORN with them. The sole legitimate function of government is to protect the equal rights of ALL. No more, no less. Our rights include anything we wish to do which does not require an UNWILLING outside party to fulfill. And government's function is NOT to protect people from themselves, keep property values high or rob one group of people to pay for the fantasies of another group, such as WODDIES.
