Rights.

Today I find myself sneezing, coughing and blowing my nose about a gazillion times. Needless to say under those conditions, blogging is not on the top of my list of things I want to do. That being said [a hackneyed phrase: I confess], I thought I would share something well worth the couple of minutes to watch.

We often hear people screech about having the “right” to this, or the “right” to that. For example, I am floored by people who claim to have a “right” to broadband internet service. If that’s true, let’s toss in the “right” to a smartphone, free automotive repairs, a free 52 inch flat screen TV and a free Hawaii vacation.

In order to re-screw your head on correctly, take a listen to Walter Williams discuss what constitutes a “right.”

He is, of course, absolutely right.
