No rights are less important than others.
This is an absolute statement. My observation is that there are no absolutes.

Over many thousands of years of human culture, the very idea of "rights" has gone through so many permutations as to be unrecognizable from one epoch to another. What is within the field of "rights" under consideration? Exactly what we have today? More? Less? Do we have the perfect amount?

How this applies to this thread is entirely debatable; just as absolute statements are of debatable value.
