70. Nature is brutal. You have the right to try and survive.

In case some haven't noticed, nature is worse than waterboarding. It's being torn limb from limb. There are no rights in nature, except the right to obey gravity, and the right to starve, and be eaten.

That's the long answer to we created rights. We made a safe environment in which to enjoy life. Ultimately, I believe, the law of nature claims all. The rights we have created are only temporary at best. But that's over a long period of time.
