I feel a little weird when people talk about 'rights' that require someone else doing something for us, like 'rights' that require someone else's labor to be fulfilled. I mostly feel my rights are to a *lack* of interference from others - e.g. a right to freely express.

Other people have responded, but I wanna say that I agree this issue isn't clear cut. How loud do you have to shout in public before you're infringing on other people's rights to not have their eardrums hurt? I still like the original distinction despite the grey areas, tho.

Generally I agree with this - 'obligation' is a kinda bad concept, and I wish people would use other ones. I am slightly more comfortable using that word in terms of 'you are obliged not to make me do things I don't want to do,' although I agree it's not fundamentally sound.
