reckless driving in VA

Biggie-Meanie had to sleep at some point;

Or an equally big, Mrs. Biggie-Meanie to cover the night shift. She was the one in charge of the whole cave, anyway.

"Git yur lazy butt out there and kill sump'n and drag it home, or you'll be sleeping out thar with them critters!"


Sometimes I get those Cavewomen and Kentucky women confused.

Where did you find that in the Bill of Rights?

The 9th amendment.

The 9th amendment.

In this case, how much difference is there really between a "qualified" right and a privilege? An argument could be made that it's a privilege we all have the right to earn. Seems to be a fuzzy distinction.

The broad wording of the 9th could be applied to a whole bunch of stuff.

It's supposed to. That's the point. Everything not legitimately proscribed is a right.

But a privilege can be withdrawn easily. A right can only be taken away by due process of law, so it's superior to a privilege. Isn't a qualified right better than a privilege you have the right to earn?

Americans don't have privileges. Privileges are dispensed by masters and parents. We have neither.
