The substance of my post above was that on balance, "minority rights" is a better characterization of the enumerated rights in the bill of rights than "individual rights".

Yes, saying "individual rights" isn't technically incorrect. But it's less accurate a protrayal than saying "minority rights".

Anyways, you're clearly ignoring the obvious intent of my posts in favor of stupid nit-picking. So I'm done.

The reason I press[ed] the issue of individual rights vs minority rights is because this quick summary gets read by others, assumed to be what matters, who then later don't believe that the rights belong to individuals, which gets repeated, which leads to the erosion of our individual rights.
