What makes some rights more inherent than others? Some people seem to think that a right can be inherent in an absolute almost mathematical sense. This is a lack of imagination. Many rights that seem inherent now were not in the past and are not going to be in the future.

Rights should be judged by their usefulness, not by how fundamental some person thinks they are, because no right is truly fundamental.
