Peace-niks

Every day on my ride home from work I would get to a corner where there were war protesters exercising there Constitutional right of assembly. Even though I thought there signs were silly(war for oil,Bush lied,people died) and predictable, I admired in some way the fact they took there time to state there viewpoints.

Since the last Presidential election, I haven't seen them. To the best of my knowledge, the war is still on, as a matter of fact, more troops have been deployed.

If any of you anti-war protesters are still out there, where are you?

Rights

Freedom of Speech is a right, but that doesn't mean that Government provides you with free speech, it mean they can not interfere with you exercising free speech.

Now in that context, is Health Care a right, it is in the sense that Government can't stop you from having health care, not in the sense that they have to provide it.

It's implied in the Constitution that you have the right to travel, now of course that doesn't mean that Government has to provide you with transportation, only that they will not impede you from traveling.

Of course you can all see that this is the bi product of an uninformed and ill educated group of people, including the President of the US and Congress who must have never had a civics class of even studied law as they all or most so proclaim
