More than questionable, rejectable. Unless anyone proves the /natural/

If you are looking for such name, I think you should remove /natural 
rights/ from the list, unless anyone proves what I said above.

Entitled to, of course: by laws approved (and changeable) by human 
beings. Not by nature, that's what I said.
