"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Wendy has my respect and support in much of what she writes. If there is a specific thing I can do to help extract the Stagliano's of the world from Leviathan's clutches I will do so, even if it includes assisting to physically break him out of one of the statist prisons.
I have no confidence, however, that state employees have any desire or ability to grant "rights". They take away "rights". I avoid voting or communicating with legislators or judges or other state parasites with hope I can "accomplish" any good for their victims. Demonstrations, letter writing campaigns and "marches" are fruitless and only play into the hands of state worshipers.
I'd better spend my efforts working with foxes to eat herbs and leave chickens be.
Agreed, Samarami, they only grant "privileges" masquerading as "rights".
"You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments: rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws...." ~ John Adams
"A right is not what someone gives you; it's what no one can take from you." ~ Ramsey Clark
