We do EARN our rights by contributing to our communities and believe it or not, like it or not...some people have more rights than others simply by the names of the people they know or are related to and the names of a$$es they kiss and support(not saying that any of you kiss anyone's a$$ so please don't misunderstand me OK?)...others are given less rights simply by not kissing a$$ and who they don't know personally.
It all a matter of who you know, how much they like you, and how much money you have when it comes down to matters of law where you happen to be not guilty where someone with "more rights than you" can get you canned regardless of your innocence. It happens.
As far as everyday life is concerned, we all have the same rights and should consider ourselves lucky for them. I think we all agree on this last statement so let's not argue OK?

Just to butt in with nothing of consequence 
There are also several government regulations, policies and laws that give you more rights than others simply because of your race or sex. They avoid the term "quota" like the plague but at their heart they are quota's...a rose by any other name.....Just thought Id add that, and I do agree with your post Moni [img]smile.gif[/img] a rarity I think [img]smile.gif[/img]
[/QUOTE]This is true! You can add being handicapped to that list as well (thinking of my incompetent Math instructor last semester lol).
A rarity, lol...you and I have been in agreement all day so far! Should one of us be afraid because of it?
