I'm denying that they _are_ rights. And no amount of [..] stamping

To me -- to the extent the concept of `rights' is meaningful -- `rights'
are the just kind of entitlements that when restricted, either 1) result
in the granters of the entitlements being removed from power, or 2)
increasingly strict controls on privilege being imposed such that no
competing groups can gain power. If there are no rights, there can be
no perception of legitimate power...
