Feeling smart? I was just taking a shortcut in the discussion. I know there are no "human rights", there is only the law of the stronger guy. Still there seem to be some shared desires among humans in most societies.

And it is not about feel-goodness, either. We try not to bother our neighbours too much because in turn they won't bother us, either. If you take away some rights from the next person, expect the same rights to be taken away from you the next day.
