This pattern of thinking ignores the fact that individual rights are of no consequence in the absence of coherent communal traditions backed by coherent communal commitments to honor, affirm and work for the implementation of individual rights. Such communal commitments are rooted in a coherent fabric of individual commitments to cooperate in honoring, affirming and working together for the realization of individual rights. In reality individual rights are conceived, nurtured, and sustained by the responsible fulfillment of creative communal responsibilities. Individual rights are realized (made real) by the fulfillment of communal responsibilities on the part of individuals. Communal responsibilities which realize individual rights are not imposed upon individuals because individual's rights have already been granted---but rather it is the fulfillment of communal responsibilities by cooperative individuals which creates individual rights. If the fulfillment of communal responsibilities cease, individual rights decay and cease to be available to the collection of individuals who failed to fulfill their communal responsibilities. Personal and communal integrity are interdependent. Neither personal integrity nor communal integrity can survive in the absence of the other. Neither can be advanced by the sacrifice of the other. Neither is independent of the other. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
