It is familiar. I rewrote it somewhat, but it’s an older post of mine.

This looks familiar, so much so that I will simply refer to the article I wrote back when last I read it.

OK…I’m an idiot. Hit submit before checking that the goose is Aesop’s, not Grimm’s. Apologies.

Great reduction, Eric. Your points seem so obvious; it’s very frustrating (to me, at least) that more people don’t get it (or don’t want to get it, or have forgotten it).

“…constructed rights are privileges of a rich society…”

Interesting that a society, made rich on the basis on inherent rights, would feel compelled to hobble itself with constructed rights while clearly sacrificing the inherent rights in the process. If Marx didn’t predict this outcome, then Grimm did in “The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg”.
