Rights

In our Western, first world capitalistic idea of rights, we emphasize individual rights, such as freedom of speech, movement, protest, bear arms and abortion, to name a few.  In  third world, less capitalistic countries, the emphasis is often on social rights which the first world sees as "socialism," or even communist.  Such social rights are for food, clothing, shelter, education and medical care.  The capitalist would say these are privileges for those who can pay for them.  In our own country we have both the individualistic and the social mentalities.  The poor have basic survival needs for which they cannot suffuiciently pay.  The important thing here is that your idea of a right is not everyone's idea.  It depends on your circumstances, the society in which you find yourself.  If Jesus is God, he could choose the circumstance in which he grew up.  He chose the poor.  In God's eye, maybe all rights are not so equal.
