[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] I would say that human beings (or more accurately, the more highly developed human beings) RECOGNIZE that certain rights are inherent, which is different than saying that they DECIDED that they were or that they GAVE the rights. For instance... if a mutation started taking place in some human beings that enabled them to see into the ultraviolet range of the spectrum, they would then recognize the ultraviolet world, and be able to percieve things that unmutated people couldn't. But the ultraviolet spectrum itself was ALWAYS there. They didn't create it or decide upon it. It just took a leap of understanding to find it. Just as the laws of physics were always there, it just took understanding to find them. Stingray: those people HAD rights, they were simply not allowed to exercise them, or didn't recognize that they had them. Same way as slavery used to be considered normal and natural, but now we (well, most of us) know it's wrong. Leaps in perception. [/QB][/QUOTE]
