Somewhere back in elementary school I was taught the difference between rights and privileges. As I understand it, a right as protected by the government, is a fundamental freedom such as freedom of speech--your ability to speak your mind as you please--as long as it does not infringe on someone else's right of freedom of speech. A privilege is the license to do something, awarded by some governing body, such as your privilege to obtain a driver's liense and drive on the government's highways. The highways belong to everone collectively (government) and if you abuse the privilege (DUI) then your privilege can be taken away from you
