re: #455 Walter L. Newton
No, I don’t think it’s a birthright, but I will take it, proudly.
Good for you, however you view it. I had to take public assistance once, and doing so literally saved my life. I could not have secured access to the tests and procedures needed without it.
Maybe try to think of it as a crossover right, something the other side of the political fence is responsible for maintaining in case of emergency. For instance I certainly enjoy the hell out of the second amendment, but my side has sadly ceded that territory to the opposition, so I look to conservatives to defend the arsenal.
