I don't believe in natural rights

At least, not the American conception of them from John Locke et al. They are inimical to the mediaeval conception of natural rights from Aquinas and I'm not convinced Orthodox are forced to believe Aquinas' conception. So that leaves me without natural rights.

Though I've always been partial to Mill's desperate desire for rights in "On Liberty" Rights that aren't technically rights but for all practical purposes should be treated as such.
