Rights

If I have rights, why shouldn't you have the same rights? If you have rights, why shouldn't I have the same rights? What are the criteria? What judgments can I make about you and you about me?

If I have rights, and you are given the same rights as me, how does that diminish what I have? If you have rights, and I am granted those same rights, how does that diminish what you have? Is there a limited supply? Not enough to go around?
