Yes, I posted some things in a sarcastic tone. That doesn't mean I wasn't
serious. But the fact that you weren't amused underlines the point that we
disagree at an extremely basic level. So discussing the question of rights
makes a lot of sense.
If you want to allude to state-controlled totalitarian distopias, I probably
will see the humor in it. Despite your label of "commie", I don't advocate a
state-controlled society (which is what I take it you mean by that) and I
don't think I've suggested that as a solution at all.
But really: let's look at the basic issues of rights first, at the bare
stand-alone level, and see where that gets us.
