I was (and still am) trying to illustrate the &quot;physical reality&quot; that exists independent of the concept of personal liberty.<p>It can be argued in many different ways, but the actual, consequential mechanisms regarding a person&#x27;s &quot;rights&quot; are enforced at a legal level, and are done so at the discretion of the state.  Reality does work, therefore, as I&#x27;ve described, regardless of what eloquent points you might make about the innate personal liberties each person is &quot;born with&quot;.  This is my &quot;clear&quot; argument.
