Quote:So here's a question to ponder. A very conservative friend of mine told me recently other people's rights end where hers begins. How does that work? How does the rights of one person end where the rights of someone else begins? I have been trying to work this out in my head, and maybe it's the allergy meds that make me spacey, but I don't get it. 

 

And please, no disparaging remarks. I'm truly curious how this works. 

I guess she is saying if you commit murder (for taking away a person's right to life) you lose your right to liberty?  The moment you take away another person's rights you lose your rights in the process, but it isn't that simple.

If I have a freedom of speech, and I slander your name doesn't that make me lose my right to freedom of speech (not if you are a newspaper, you can't be sued for liable - Trumps argument against New York Times.)
