Rights

Rights are an interesting concept. Some people seem to feel that they have the right to do whatever they want. That is really not the case. If everyone does whatever they want, then it is anarchy. You only have rights in as much as someone else gives them to you. Your rights should not impede the rights of others. And you do not have the right to avoid the consequences of your actions (as determined by a higher authority) either. People have the right to an opinion, but should remember that is what they are. People (unfortunately) have the right to be stupid, but should not then be surprised when they are treated as if they are.
