Quote:My point being, some people take a right and freedom and use it the way it wasn't intended.

 

"Intended"????
 
Charles Cooke puts it better than I ever could:
 
"Simply put, a country in which the people regard certain individual rights as inviolable axioms of nature — and who accept with alacrity, therefore, that they will often be used for ill — will be a country that boasts protections of those rights within its national charter. A country in which the people are focused primarily on what might be done with those rights, by contrast, will be a country that prefers to elevate and to abide by the whims of transient majorities — or, perhaps, by the discretion of a supposedly enlightened few."
