Rights

I borrowed this from a comment by some guy on Vox Day's Blog
It says it so well, why try to do better.

ON RIGHTS:

1. Rights come from somewhere.
2. The Declaration of Independence claims our rights come from God.
3. Government recognizes out God-given rights.
5. Since rights don't come from government, government can't take them away.
6. Government can't also make up new rights to give you.
7. Any "right" you have that requires someone else to give up something for you to have, isn't a right, it is oppression.
