> I believe you have the right of opportunity, but not of outcome. I may be assuming too much, but in most don't really believe this. For example, I'd wager you firmly believe you have the right to a safe and secure society such that you are relatively confident you will no be randomly murdered in your sleep with no consequences for the murderer. This is exactly a right to the outcome of a minimum level of security in your person and property. If you do hold this belief then you believe in right of outcome in society. Though you may not agree with others what outcomes we should be guaranteed. |

Do you have a right to a "safe and secure society"? I'm not really sure precisely what that is or how it is achieved, but that sounds an awful lot like a privilege.
For example, you most certainly do not have the right to be guarded in your sleep by armed guards. Nor do we all possess the right to be guarded in our sleep by armed guards.
