I am sorry to have to differ with you, as I am sure your heart is in the right direction.
I has hoped that you would read my three threads, previously referenced to you.
Many rights, which you do not actively defend, have been and are being stripped away.
You have had the right to discrimnate on the basis of a person's skin color, given the facts known to you regarding a description of a like person who has demonstrated injurious harm to the public --- but that right is being taken from you, by a Congress "hell-bent" upon eliminating your freedom of choice in such a matter.
You have had the freedom to choose, but again, see the previous paragraph.
You have had the right to keep and bear Arms, foremost because of the martial power resolved in the authority of the legislative bodies of the States, made up of our duly elected representatives, to affect the Muster --- we have the right to defend ourselves with martial power and organize and train accordingly, ie. be "well regulated" in our exercise of these rights; but nowadays, this basis is being stripped away from our teaching and history of the American Heritage; and you are losing that right too, what was meant by the Founding Fathers and Framers, in the expression, "a public education," the maintenance of our understanding why we are free.
In the absence of other Americans having the rights which you have enumerated, then we are losing ground, because foremost in our minds must be our duty to protect not only the rights, but the foundations of them, for others than our selves.
While it is the obligation of government to remain within the powers delegated to it on the list enumerated in our Constitution.
It is the burden of government and its agents, to have to weary from knowing and constantly being reminded what its limited "rights" are and how it will suffer when it transgresses; any advance beyond the limits, to be dealt with by the vigilant, some of whom are here at Free Republic.
An advance by government, but especially by social engineers, is the loss, to you and me, of more of our rights.
The rights you are losing are your authority (and again, the foundations for it); you have it, but you are not aware of it; and your government is taking it away from you, piece by piece.
