Yes, and that's a useful belief that supercharges the BOR's gravitas. But I don't know what an 'inherent right' really means if it's easy for mob rule or tyranny to trample on it.
Metaphysically, the 'Bill of Rights' is just ink and paper. It's not self-enforcing. But as a venerable set of social norms, as a focal point in a political coordination game, as a wake-up call from our ancestors, it still carries weight among those who understand and respect it.https://twitter.com/michaelmalice/status/978762409702842369 …

Sort of like a shared myth.

A shared myth that comes true if enough people believe in it.

Then it's no longer a shared mythos and stops being true. Of course,you knew that. I wonder if as important as shared myths are shared heroes. If you don't have same heroic figures in common what's the point. Deconstructing people's heroes is making them commit self-negation.

Have to say, how many women in other countries wish someone had put pen to paper to create a document that reminds them and their government of rights and liberties, and had someone (if not many) who would fight to preserve such ideals & what they represent?pic.twitter.com/tGX2TPejlZ
