THE RIGHT OF RIGHTS

A day's worth of blathering of the news. Except it wasn't really the news. Oh, there were newsy things all right. But the emphasis was on the packaging, all bright and shiny. Looking less, I think, to inform as captivate.
The News Entertainment Business.
I noted one theme ran through many stories.
Rights.
Everyone claimed rights. Everything was a right.
Right to speak
Right to vote
Right to life
Right to choose
Right to work
Right to property
Right to exist
Right of returm
Right to bare arms
Right to medical care
Right to life, liberty, and the pursuit if happiness
God Given Rights
The thinking here is a bit more than a bit fuzzy. Unless we intervene the monkey boys on this planet will soon be facing an infernal cataclysm from the depths of space. Each day a 2,000 foot piece of cosmic flotsam hurls nearer.
Proof of one thing.
In this universe you have but one right. To survive as long as you are strong enough, fast enough, smart enough, lucky enough....
All these other "rights" are not inherent. They are items negotiated, intellectualized, invented and fought for.
They are items which, in one fashion or another, are won.
They should be thought of as REWARDS, not rights.
If the monkey boys change their perspective someday I think many truths will become clear to them about their world and society.
