Just for making a "point"... "Fuck you, JJ."  |
Dammit all to hell!
I get to be as presumptuous as I want.

I hear ya. Before you know it, they'll want to be secure in their property and possessions from unwarranted searches and seizures...and then, they'll want the right to bear arms...and then they'll want a right to a trial by jury...
Where does it end, indeed!
But honestly, I get your point.
My point and presumptively (see that, elphaba?)
their point would be something like this:
Without google, how many of us can name the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights?
Forget it, even if you say you didn't google it, I won't believe you. Besides, it's rhetorical. I honestly believe we have become too blasé in our defense of our own rights. Part of it is a point that you made regarding the 2nd amendment. We don't get to pick and choose which rights to defend. We either defend them all, or risk losing them all.
Too many people have become too complacent in facing that and doing anything tangible about it.
