Faaantastic. I am now trying to take school meals away from poor children: I am sooo evil, aren’t I? It just gets better and better. Actually, no, I live in the UK with its’ National Health service, and state education, and I like it like that. I wouldn’t trade it for any amount of freedom and guns.
Human rights is something that humans have just because they are humans. In practice, it is a really basic, rock-bottom level that all decent people ought to subscribe to. Some don’t, but perhaps with enough international pressure, we can pressure some of the others to go along. However, if people are going to conflate human rights with having broadband, and other first world problems (I am reminded of the magazine headline “Inside: A family’s desperate search for a second pony”) then we risk losing the whole argument.
