And you still didn't prove the "right to drive"! You have the right to use the highways, you have the right to move around freely, in neither of the cases you cited does it ANYWHERE say a person has the "right to drive a motor vehicle".

You grammar nazi-ed yourself! Snap :-p

I'm feeling a little vampiric today, can I bathe in that blood??

How is healthcare a right? Is it something that would be great for all of us to have, sure of course. Where is it written that medical care needs to be provided to everyone on a silver platter? Is driving a 'right'? Not at all, it's a privilege that you earn by studying, taking the tests, and proving you at least a basic ability to control the car. Even then, you have to have a car to drive, one isn't given to you once you get a license. Medical care, as far as I'm aware, always something that had to be paid for - either via the currency of the realm or trade/barter. If you couldn't pay for it, one way or another, you didn't get help. That's the way it goes. As a reasonably successful professional, I have no problem helping the less fortunate - I donate time and money annually through a variety of ways/means/organizations. What I take issue with is why should I, someone that works hard to earn my wage, enable or support lazy morons that don't work or even try (i.e. people that abuse government programs like Unemployment or Wellfare)?

Okay sunshine, believe whatever you'd like to believe - wrong though you are. Let me ask you this: what way did you vote for the postage stamp for Wilt Chamberlain? What's that you say? You didn't vote on that one, someone in Washington D.C. with the title "Representative" voted in your place? Huh... That *might* have something to do with the fact that the United States of America IS NOT A TRUE DEMOCRACY. The United States is a Federal Constitutional Republic - period, done, end of story. In a true democracy everyone has an opportunity to vote for everything. Hell, strictly speaking we didn't even vote for the President, we voted for which way we want our state to vote for President via the Electoral College.

The United States of America is not, never has been, and likely never will be a Democracy. If you're going to throw stones, at least make sure you know what you're talking about.

Yeah... As someone that does tend to lean towards the right on more topics than I lean left (I'm an equal opportunity asshole), even I think Glenn Beck is freak show. He's nothing but a FUD-monger with his head up his own ass.

There's an app...lication for a prescription for that!

There just aren't enough mod points in the world for your post. I'd mod you up if I had some.

For once that isn't actually a Troll comment, but a halfway decent reference to Pulp Fiction.

Son of a... Where are mod points when I need them. This should be +5 "fucking obvious". I am intrigued by your outlook and would like to subscribe to your newsletter - seriously. I couldn't agree more.

But can we trust the ones that are potentially discounting the 'unreliable' data? Truly everyone knows that one in 7.2 government employees is a Sasquatch. And if they're hiding that from us, what else are they less than truthsome about?

This thread is going to be full of so many +5's and -1's, it's going to be ridiculous. Too many people have mod points left unused right now? Is that why this 'article' was posted? LET THE FLAME WAR COMMENCE!

Quick! Someone make an impassioned plea to the U.N. to write a strongly worded letter informing the Arctic that its actions are unacceptable and intolerable. We must not abide this clear violation of greenhouse gas limitation policy. Please, be sure the letter is *strongly worded*!!!

Pojut, I'll thank you to take your rational, sane commentary and leave now. There's no place for your kind of middle-of-the-road-and-still-rational mindset here at /., the place where extremes live. Why hasn't this guy been modded "-1 Flamebait" yet? He's CLEARLY disagreeing with both sides of Global Warming, shouldn't each side be modding the piss outta him? ;-) ;-)
