My disagreement is with the notion that language creates reality. The Sapir-Worf hypothesis is something I vehemently disagree with, but I also consider the idea of "natural" rights part of the naturalist fallacy.
As I said in my original response, gamma ray bursts are natural, too, but if one of the damn things hits this planet we all die in a matter of seconds. Natural =/= to good. And the reality that might makes right is another example of how =/= to good.
