      Uhh it starts with I can’t believe anyone would think implying there are a lot of people who don’t think it is a right. Your or the UN’s declaration that it is right means nothing if people don’t agree to it. Besides, the devil is always in the details.

      A right can be positive or negative. Saying you have the right to buy food without money is pointless. A positive right would mean someone would need to provide you that food if you can’t afford it. What type of right and is it provided if needed is the crux of the issue.
