NeoNote — Rights, privileges, and powers
❝❝The difference between rights and privileges. It's not a right unless the other has it too. Otherwise it's a privilege, usually taken at someone else's expense.NeoNotes are the selected comments that I made on other boards, in email, or in response to articles where I could not respond directly.
Thanks. That's one I like to pass along. Too much confusion.
It doesn't help when the Official Authorities™ start invoking things like "police rights" and "government has the right to do this." They're talking about powers, which supposedly only exist to protect rights.
