Coercive 'Rights'
Submitted by Serenity on Mon, 2012-05-21 02:00
The term civil rights itself used to mean rights of citizens – the right to marry or own property, for example – which the state was bound to respect. Now it means rights the state should enforce. And some of these “rights” are highly questionable, such as the “right” of access to others’ private property.
