It is the duty of all citizens to protect the rights of others, just as they expect their rights to be protected. No good citizen should be cavalier about such grave events.

Are you suggesting I'm not a good citizen?

Pretty judgemental, if you ask me.

Taking an opportunity to remind readers of the thread of their civic duty, which used to be widely taught. But since our schools teach 'government' instead of civics nowadays, there is a shameful number of American citizens who do not understand this most basic tenet of Americanism, thats all.
