That's me OK :-) I don't make any claim to know what "justice" is
only than what applies in my situation.

And what exactly are these "rights" you are asking for? 

I used to feel that I had some, but I lost interest once I realized
that what my ideas were not shared by everyone. So instead of
subjecting myself to a stressful and tiresome process of asking for
something that is, after all, just what I want, why not just do what
I can do get it?  And if enough people want and get the same things
then they will be considered "rights" by those too lazy to think for
themselves :-)

Did you ever think that being albe to do something is 9/10ths of
rights, just like possession is 9/10ths of ownership? 

Only my idea...

Dave
