What is needed is a balance between the two. As the marq pointed out, we all have certain rights but with those rights comes responsibility. They go hand in hand.
People like Coren would rather we had no defined rights. He would chuck the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and rely on Grampa Joe's book of common sense and expect people to be responsible to a certain way of thinking and a certain way of living.
Unfortunately we do not live in a homogenous society. People are different just as much as they are the same. Many people like to trod on others ability to do something. When they have the "right" to do something it becomes a little more difficult to stop.
Again... balance is the key to just about everything.
