Good point.
However, if men can endow men with rights and men are fallible, can they not make mistakes or take those rights away all together?

I don't find that too scary if done properly. No need to make government a boogie-man.

So man is self creating and the final authority on all matters then?
Who has the power of force (God's wrath if you like) Govt. or man?
"If properly done" are probably the most frightening words in human language with regards to Govt.
Govt. is like fire, kept small and contained it can give us warmth and light. Allowed to spread unchecked, it consumes everything. Without a higher authority (Creator) what contains Govt. and or man?
