I recognize that your rights - in reality - are limited to rights that you can actually exercise. Everything else is just philosophy. I may think I have an inalienable right to travel the globe and settle where I will, without papers or permission, but if I can't actually exercise that right then I really don't have it.

So you have them by they are denied to you by men.. that happens I should say your freedom to exercise them is denied… I’m not sure freedom to travel unrestricted is an inalienable right though but… whichever I won’t split that hair Edited August 24, 2022 by RiverRaider A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. – William James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarterMan Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 We’ve been round and round on the “we have inalienable rights but man tries to deny you those rights” train. If a right is truly inalienable then common man couldn’t stop anyone from enjoying them - but yet it happens all the time. So, whether or not we have inalienable rights doesn’t really matter, because in practice any and all rights can be suppressed - which proves that they’re really just a human construct. <p><p></p></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think he just understood how much easier it was to throw a kayak on top of an Outback than it was on an Acadia. <p><p></p></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
