I hear lots of people saying similar things about &#x27;rights&#x27; these days.  It&#x27;s like people think that declaring something as a &#x27;right&#x27; is all that it takes to enable free action.  If only it was that easy.<p>My experience is different: One has a &#x27;right&#x27; to do something as long as the observers (i.e. the authority) agrees that the right exists.  In other words: if you want a right, you have to fight for it, first.<p>(Personally, I agree with your sentiment - but I&#x27;m a little frustrated with our current generation.  Lots of rhetoric, too little action.)
