You've already lost this point several times, David. Where does it say
the right is inalienable? Why do you believe 'right' equals 'can be
forced to'?
I guess your next trick will be to force an end to volunteer work,
because everyone has a right to equal pay, don't they, and if one
person is a volunteer and another is paid for the same work, the
volunteer is obviously abrogating the other persons rights.
Time you got the dictionary out. Start with 'morality' and then move
to 'consistent'.
