The Liberty Boys tried to explain this to you years ago--but you would have none of it

Steve, when did we buy into the notion that driving, flying, etc. is a privilege and not a right?
The airline and I are conducting a business transaction. The airline has a vested interest in their planes not falling out of the sky. The airline therefore has the right to put whatever stipulations I might accept into that agreement. Should those demands get too stringent, I can choose another carrier, or another mode of transportation.
But now the government has gotten themselves between me and the carrier, in our transaction. Now I have no say as to the terms of the transaction, so the government can impose whatever restrictions it likes, and I have no option but another form of transportation.
The way i see it, I should have a right to engage in any of these activities, as i see fit, without loss of basic rights, until there is a compelling and legal reason to forbid me from doing so.
Where did I go wrong?

Remember, Steve is a lawyer and a third tier member of the ruling class. He favors big government/big brother as it means more business for him. The Constitution be damn, it only gets in the way of making money unless he can use the Constitution to make even more money.

Guys remember, Bob and Steve are lawyers and are members of the third tier ruling class. They both favor big government/big brother as long as the old establishment ruling class of the Republican Party are running things.

Once you understand them you can put them on ignore like I do because you know what they are going to say with even knowing. I will concede that occasional I'll look at a post from Steve when he post a news article of interest. Bob, on the other hand, only post insults about how dumb everybody in the room is, except him, when in fact the real dummy in the room is him. Bob knows little, if anything, about American history, American political history, or American politics. It's not a matter of a difference of opinion but of historical and political ignorance.

Sure got the big Republican government, status quo supporters worked up this morning........and heck, I wasn't even trying hard........




Casey

thanks....I don't know what the sage of the front range is babbling about as far as the status quo....I don't think anybody supports this latest security theater from TSA. But if you don't approach it from the reality of existing law, you're just sort of acting out your frustration rather than acting like an adult trying to change an offensive policy.

unconstitutional is not simply a synonym for "I don't like it", which is the way Casey is fond of using it.

the thing lurking behind all this is, of course, the need to do what the libs call profiling, which I call looking for terrorists where they are likely to be rather than frisking nuns and children.

the Patriot Act, which neither inconvenienced nor even affected US citizens, has zip to do with the TSA or this most recent agency rule.


it's just another one of your rallying cries....like "neo-con" and "unconstitutional".....


tell me again, Casey, how did the PA affect life in the enclave? I forget.
