Whether the society should provide everybody with certain minimalresources is a different topic. And I simply refuse to discuss it aslong as somebody claims that people have a right to certain resources.

you're the one who brought up natural rights... you may substitute it with the right of a person living in a civilized society, if it makes you happy... incidentally, in a recent case, the Indian Supreme Court acknowledged that food along with water, a decent environment, education, medical care, and shelter are the basic human rights of a person living in a civilized society. India! India is more progressive than we are.
