It was tempting bait, but I really don't want to delve into a discussion
of Evolution, even though it may be the quickest route to Godwin's law
being invoked on this thread. :)
but health care and education are NOT a basic right.
They are in the society I want to live in. Granted, it will be tricky to
reconcile both entities with our idea of liberty, but if any nation can
do it we can.
principles that I base my comments on are set forth in the Constitution,
not in modern day interpretation as a some living document subject to
the whims of mankind nor the good intentions of over zealous people to
be considered advanced or progressive thinkers.
Why did the founders give us the power to change the constitution then?
I think this is one of the document's most important features.
