Fair point.
But I believe mine remains: the term "unalienable right" is either totally vapid or at best arbitrarily bound by the coercive power structure under which it is uttered.
...and given that the ultimate power structure is nature and energy, that system doesn't grant you ANY "rights", but it does result in many _affordances_ that competent individuals may pursue. (Without guarantee of success). Acquiring and defending property are two such affordances, but there is no such thing as a "right".
