Yeah, well I don't see a country that's thriving, except in terms of wealth (for some). I see a country lurching towards another Civil War.
Anyway, my point was that I don't think these rights exist, and that framing things in terms of rights is arse-over-tit. I'm not interested in arguing whether the US chose the right set of rights; I'm saying I have no idea what a "right" is, other than a privilege granted by law.
