I disagree.
Rights are inalienable. That means they can't be taken away from us.
Therefore, how can they require "responsibilities"? If our actions
(or inactions) can affect our rights (or whether they have them) then
they weren't rights in the first place, they were privileges, IMHO.
That's what I thought, too, but I was waiting for Frank to comment. I
figured he was more likely to know what he was talking about than I am,
on this sort of subject.
But I'm glad to see him confirm my impression.
