Rights

Here is something I found very interesting.  The source it seems is from a student?!? at MIT, link included at the bottom.  IT seems to be an opinion of the individual, but a good thought process.



What is Punishment: Any discrimination is a punishment since the person is punished for having the property being discriminated on, except that discrimination by private people (who have no special authority) that does not abridge fundamental rights does not qualify as a punishment. Thus, remedies in civil cases, administrative actions, and punishment of children by the parents are examples of punishments.
