I'm having a hard time wording this without sounding offensive, but here goes. It's usually the people who get all uptight about their "rights". Interestingly enough, there are far more of them than there are those who are concerned about their responsibilities. Their exists a famous, revolutionary document called the Bill of Rights. It contains several amendments to the US Constitution. It is a terrible shame that the Bill of Rights was not dependent upon a Bill of Responsibilities. A good example would be that the right to bear arms would be dependent upon the responsibility to secure the weapon from children, theft, and to use it only under specific conditions. Those who are not responsible, loose their right. Of course, today adding a Bill of Responsibilities would be impossible, because that would infringe upon their Freedoms. I stress that my intention was not to offend, and before flaming me (preferably off list) I suggest thinking up a real world example where a Bill of Responsibilities would be harmful as opposed to beneficial.
