La Parola is proud to host an inquiry into rights that’s universally applicable to everybody.
MYTH: One of the most common myths in civilization is that rights are conditional, so the big argument is only who gets to decide who gets what rights.
BUSTED. You can see that this debate had been raging for 4,000 years, or maybe 40,000, depending on how long your historical perspective is. But you can also see that any distinction between “rights” and “privileges” evaporates when we get bogged down in debates over who gets to “define” rights.
