So, if there are rights, how does the existence of a right (to life and liberty, for example), implicitly exclude women, children, or faggots? Why is that right so flawed in its generality that a government has to step in and declare separate, defined sets of narrowly written rights, for specific groups?

There is only one answer to my question. One answer only:

More government control.

The "granting" of rights by government inherently gives them control of your rights, and the ability to strip you of those rights.

This is why in the USA, the Founders at least got that part correct; "Your Unalienable Rights, granted by your Creator". Government was meant to be the watchman of your rights - not the grantor.

Every single "right" on the books right now that was granted by government, is an act of Treason, within the United States.

I specify because I don't know what other countries have on their books, for the most part.

A government which can grant your rights, can take your rights.
