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.
Don't I get a cookie?

Aren't most of our "rights" intangibles
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.

But health care costs money. Aren't most of our "rights" intangibles?
Due process costs a lot of money. It's more the term 'privilege' than 'right' that gets me.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

omg, the stupid it burns (NOT mac related, for once in a long while)
we get a bill for "unreturned equipment"
our payables guy calls the vendor to pay it after my dept approves it, the vendor asks if we still have the equipment.
we tell him, no we do not have it.
he send another email asking when it was returned.
I just responded that it cannot be located, it was NEVER returned and that is why the invoice is for "unreturned equipment". I add that we have been discussing this with the vendor for several months and perhaps they should keep notes.
