ack!  if you think these are not rights I dont really know what
to say..
(1) drive a car - if it doenst infringe on the rights of others
then it is entirely your own business...

(2) come and go as we please  -  as long as we dont intrude on
other peoples "property".  

(3) drink alchohol, take drugs etc - again as long as it doesnt
intrude on other peoples rights.   

these are all rights,  the government has no place messing
with things like these, maybe they make rules to make things
easier for themselves and make sure other rights arent
bein trampled on by you.

government should not be in the business of protecting
people from theirselves...
ack.. this is getting way off topic, what is this
stuff even doing in comp.misc.sec ?
