"Try to keep up."
Which amendment in the Bill of Rights covers your 'Right' to uncontrolled and unfettered use of public property? I pay lots of taxes, should I be able to do anything I want on the roads? Do I have a right to drive 150mph on public streets? I pay for them, don't I?

I didn't say I had the right to "uncontrolled and unfettered use". I said I had a "right" to use them. If I pay for something I have a "right" to use it, it isn't a "privilege". It is a right. That doesn't mean I may use them as I wish.
Are you suggesting I have no "right" to use public property?
When you say I have no "right" to use university libraries even though I pay tuition to the university, it is like saying I have no right to drive my car even though I have paid for it. True, I have to obey the law in using both, but I have an absolute "right" to the use of both because I paid for that "right".
