The 9'th Amendment is a dead letter because it's a wish-list.

That's an absurd statement. The 9th amendment isn't a list at all, let alone a "wish list". In fact, the 9th amendment very clearly states that no list need be made . Where on earth did you get such an odd notion, anyway?

That's an absurd statement.

Only if you interpret it as though I meant a literal list of rights ;)

Anyway, how do you determine what is and isn't a right under the 9'th Amendment?
