I know you'd like to peg this down to knowing what rights you have and what rights you don't have. I can't help you with that but I do know that making sure lindsey lohan never acts in a movie again, while not a bad idea, can't be a natural right because that would infringe on her rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Now, as far as governmental support of your rights, thats already been explained via the courts protection, however, social support can be necessary for it would be the only way to protect your rights via a tyranny.
