You enjoy the fruits of many, many people's labor- BTW.

Yes, but I don't have a right to it.

So you are saying the Constitution is not the fruit of someone's labor ( like our early settlers and early militia)- which is protected by the fruits of the veteran's labor?

Are you saying that the first amendment, for example, is not a right given to you and protected for you by a soldier's fruits of labor?

Again the mere fact that you are here speaking freely in an open forum, and if you are American- shows that you enjoy the fruits of many people's labor.

Every right you have in this country is protected by the labor of our military- and they do not make a whole lot of money doing it.

It is a labor of love for most- and I intend to pay back into the system that many of them have died to protect and provide to us. The ability for all citizens to get a decent education, no matter how much money they have, is a huge part of what America stands for.
