Your Rights

It is amazing... in Western democracies you have lots of "rights". The funny thing is that those "rights" are great in theory but fall short in practice. If you question authorities based on your understanding of your rights can get you into big trouble.
A pastor gets pulled over in Arizona at an internal anti-terrorism checkpoint and refuses to submit to a vehicular search (as per his fourth amendment rights). Hilarity ensues as authorities break his car windows with hammers and shoot him with a taser...




So what "rights" do you have? You have the right to do exactly what the guy with the gun tells you do. Gee... people have had those kinds of "rights" in Nazi German and in Stalist Russia. So... enjoy your rights!
