I think this was from WIKI - I was doing investigating and forgot - sorry.
A
privilege—etymologically "private law" or law relating to a specific individual—is a special entitlement or immunity granted by a government or other authority to a restricted group, either by birth or on a conditional basis. A privilege can be revoked in some cases. In modern democracies, a privilege is conditional and granted only after birth. By contrast, a right is an inherent, irrevocable entitlement held by all citizens or all human beings from birth.
Juat a little fuel for the fire. I am torn by this whole discussion - I
was sure and now I'm vascillating on a workable definition.
