which brings me back to my statement of yesterday. groups should not have rights. when they do, we get into numbers games. "my group is bigger than yours, so we have more rights" or "our rights are paramount to yours..." it's most notable that nazi germany had a concept of group rights, and that jews were "the minority". if we took the attitude that there are certain inalienable rights that all human beings everywhere are entitled to, such as the right to education, basic health care, clean water, THE RIGHT TO NOT BE BOMBED TO SMITHEREENS, then we wouldn't need to have this discussion. -frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
