You had stated that there is a contract enumerating the rights of citizens and if we wish to add to them there is a procedure. On this point you are absolutely wrong.

Really, now. It's perfectly possible to make an argument without distorting my words. What I actually said was that there is a contract enumerating the rights that society recognizes and protects. You may certainly assert rights beyond that, but those are the rights protected by society. If you wish to add to the list of rights protected by society, there is a procedure for so doing.

You see, it cannot be your right if it infringes upon mine. This is why health care can NEVER be a "right". To make it so would require someone else to give you something of his, i.e. the doctor would give away his time and expertise. This would infringe upon his rights.

My copy of the Consitution must be an edited version - I can't seem to find that language anywhere in the Ninth Amendment. Perhaps you would be so good as to list the portions of the Ninth that support such a contention.

Their job is to secure MY rights and do the things, and ONLY the things, which I give them permission to do.

Of course. However, that does not make every wish you have into a "right". Society is not obligated to protect something as a right merely because you assert it to be so.

To understand the underlying premise for the Constitution, you would have to have a firm grip on the concept of common law.

The problem you have is that you have been brain-washed by the corrupt public education system to think that one must interpret the Constitution via Uniform Commercial Code...that is also why you will never comprehend the Ninth Amendment.
