I'd like to see what you mean by stripping all means of communication. We got somebody here who said he can last longer than 2 weeks without drinking water. Change the word communication to "health care" and you just help a liberal make his entitlement argument. Go ahead, tell me why you're right and he's wrong.
So sex and money are rights because people wish it???That aside, it is a right simply because people wish it. There is no requirement of necessity in order to distill any given consideration into a right.
Don't forget nucular bombs.In this case, and to be very specific, a right is a claim - a just claim - to whatever it is that is claimed. All rights imply the right to the means of exercise. My right to self defense directly and unarguably implies my right to the means of exercising the primary right in question. If I possess the right to self-defense, it makes no sense whatsoever to assert that anyone holds the right to deny my access to the means of exercise, whether it be my hands, teeth, a stone, club, knife, gun, etc.
You're saying a lot of nothing right now. So let me help you.
If a liberal were to make the case, everybody wishes to be healthy, healthcare is the means of being healthy, therefore not providing healthcare is a violation of a person's right to be healthy, how is he wrong ?
Who and what decides what is "validly"? And yes, rights DOES mean an obligation for others not to violate. This is why it's illegal to stop you from driving or kill a person, because you have a right to live and a right to travel. Ron Paul specifically said there is no right to privacy in the Constitution. Such a myth has already led to Roe vs Wade and Lawrence vs Texas.Such rights do not imply the obligation of others to provide the means of exercise to me, but only that I may obtain, keep, and make use of them as my morally valid actions pursuant to equally correct choices would allow. If I am able to manufacture my own firearm, I am centrally within my right to do so in order to provide myself with the means of self-defense. If I earn money validly, it is my right to provide myself with a firearm that is for sale by another. Contrariwise, I hold no authority to steal a gun or to demand that you, as a taxpayer, subsidize my acquisition of the means to defend my life and property.
