re: #312 American Sabra

Oh ok. I was thinking the things I support politically in priority order. Things I have? You mean the most important things to me right now? Family, health and job are the three things. (This is like an internet quiz :p Do I win a prize?)

Technically, I suppose that it is an internet quiz. Read all about the prize at the bottom of this comment.

Okay:
Family
Health
Job

Israel
Equal Rights
(something about the border, sorry not sure how to summarize)

Last question…Answer in your head over the next several years.

For each of these things:
A) What role does the government play in securing these things for you?
B) What role *should* the government play in securing these things for you? Assume that the government is also obliged (except where ridiculous) to provide the opposite to, or to refrain from acting on behalf of, fellow citizens who disagree with you.
C) Can you find that thing (or a precursor) in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution as Amended? Sorry, Supreme Court decisions with no clear precedent in the Constitution are not allowed—no aurae, emanations, or umbrae will be accepted. (But this would not mean that the *conclusion* is invalid—it means that the argument was flawed). The Supreme Court is not allowed to make things up—we have Congress for that.

Sorry, no prize, unless you have found the conversation rewarding. I am writing from Afghanistan, and let me tell you—these things are very important to me. I change my answers from time to time, and I figure that I will all of my life. I guess I’m going to bed.

Thank you for your time. See you around.
