From your lips to God's ears......In a perfect world......
Unfortunately we live society that has a slave mentality. Someones always someones else boss. It make people feel empowered to lord over someone else. Threatening someones rights is a way to power and control.
If we don't continually fight for our rights, anybody can and will take them away.
Because there are people who still do not understand this as well as you do.
Why do we as humans even feel like we have to fight to get rights from other humans? that makes absolutely no sense. Call me wierd but since were all human beings we shouldnt feel like we should look down or feel like we have to demand anything from any other human

We are all just glorified slaves. I mean seriously, what would you call it when you can go to PRISON for not giving your money to the government? If YOU work for that money, and I tell you to give me some or I shoot you, I am a thief. Yet our government can threaten it out of us? Why not just make us do X amount of free labor? OH right, that's called slavery.
That's why we beg for rights. The slaves want more privileges.

And in turn we owe nothing to others but common courtesy.
I have no patience with those in a mentality of "but I'm special"

To be fair, my friend, there is a difference between realizing the absurdity of a situation, and actually acting to remove yourself from it. Strategically, it may not be in ones best interest to attempt to remove themselves from a situation in which they found absurdity.

I could see if we were enslaved by an alien race and demanded our rights but were all from earth and all have the same DNA (as in human DNA).
