Yes.

Do you have the right to eat anything you want?

Rights aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Unfortunately, Dave, we don't. The unfortunate truth about the concept of "rights" is that rights must be granted and backed by a superior power. That basically boils down to government and the divine. Government doesn't want to grant it, and if the divine have the power and authority to do so they aren't backing it up. On the other hand, freedom doesn't require the benevolence of a superior power, it merely requires a body to possess the power to claim it.

Well ...

color me naive, but I still subscribe to the rather archaic notion that certain truths are self-evident: that we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ... which may or may not include drinking raw milk. It's high time we reminded our corporate overlords and their minions in DC of another self-evident truth. That when a government becomes destructive of these rights, it is the right (dare I say the duty) of the people to alter or abolish it. If this be treason, make the most of it! Thanks for the comment and Be well, Dave H.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
