AH HEM...and I'm probably going to shock a few FReepers by saying this, but it's a truthful observation:
That depends on what your definition of "civil rights" is, doesn't it?
Yes, it's me, and my mind is just as sound as it's always been.
I guess it should say civil liberties?
Civil rights . "See Civil Liberties"
Civil liberties . "Personal, natural rights guaranteed and protected by Constitution...Constitutionally they are restraints on government."
Using this definition, than I would agree.
