A reminder on rights ...



And if anything does require the labour of others, then it's not a right. It's something you have to earn.

Read more here on rights versus privileges.

Here's a handy Cue Card on Rights.

And something very timely ... "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that a whole lot of people were confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of No Rights."

    It is not your right to enter my and my fellows common lands without the means to support yourself, but instead to rely on our goodwill and decency to house and feed you.

    It is not *your* right evict me from any property that is not your own, nor to stop me from taking up any employment offer, anywhere, that is not your own.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
