Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
DeMint also said, “I think health care is a privilege. I wouldn’t call it a right.”
A privilege. I'm not wild about a country where health care is only for the privileged.
But health care costs money. Aren't most of our "rights" intangibles? It costs nothing to give me the right to remain silent. I guess if public safety is a right, it costs money to pay the police force. Are highways a right? I'm not sure what I'm saying here. Are the things our taxes go to considered "rights"? And by whom?
The line to punch Senator Jim DeMint in the crotch forms behind me.
Can it be a kick-line instead (so to speak). I don't want to get my hands anywhere near that rancid junk.

erika, you get a Taser with an extra-long reach so you don't have to touch the bastard.

A human right, as opposed to a Constitutional right, P-C. Like clean water to drink. That comes with a price tag, and that individuals don't have the right to pee wherever they please.

Due process costs a lot of money. It's more the term 'privilege' than 'right' that gets me.
Cool, Barb. "You can fuck a nigga up with that and there's no recoil."(/Snoop)

Aaah. Right, of course.

What struck me was that you went from "privilege" to "privileged," and even though that's a grammatically sound leap, I wasn't sure whether it was...I don't know the word I'm looking for. For some reason, "something is a privilege" and "only the privileged get something" didn't seem equivalent to me.
Sooooooo. Sleeeeeeepy. Want to crawl under my desk.

How do you read something being a privilege, then? At worst it seems like something you can't even earn, you just luck into. At best it's a reward.
Neither of which category the pursuit of good health should fall into.
