I guess this constitutes an agreement?

And, Harv, FWIW, I started this tread when I realized that the separate discussion of group rights really goes back to the fundamental question of what exactly are rights. Without some agreement on that subject, you cannot carry on a meaningful discussion as to whether groups can have, or cannot not have rights. In my point of view, once one agrees that rights are a social/political human construct, it is then clear that society can define rights as applicable to groups... or not.
