OK, I give up too!
-But, --there's always a but ( or in this case a butthead --me, because I guess I can't just give up)
-I must comment on the idea of treating these rights, like free speech, as privileges that can be taken away. They are not privileges, they are rights.
-Free speech and the like are listed in the Constitution. The preamble to the Constitution says the Constitution was written to "secure the blessings (I believe Free Speech is one) of Liberty for ourselves and our posterity. The Constitution is a dirivative document of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration lists Liberty as an "unalienable right"
-Kings and States don't give us Americans the blessings of Liberty. We believe these blessings are ours by our very nature as humans. We give the State the privilege to protect these blessings for us. We're the ones who can take the privileges away from them, --not the other way around.
-But then I don't have to tell you that. If I interpret your posts correctly, you have spent a career in the service of your country protecting those rights, --and that sir, as you well know, is a privilege.
-no more posts on this subject from me.
-thanks y'all for listening.
