Read the sentence again. It doesn´t matter. There will always be

special rights?
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.

btw, dag, the above post wasn't directed at you or anyone else in
particular...
I understood that, and I agree with you.
