Dweeb LTTE of the day!
This gem is from the Austin American Statesman, and was penned by Michael Ross of Kyle, Texas. You got to read it to believe it! Titled "Who gave you rights?", here it is:

I am tired of everyone screaming about their rights being violated. We have officials trying to protect Americans, and every time they get caught trying to stay one step ahead of the terrorists, someone cries foul. This is what's wrong with this generation: "my rights." Everybody wants what they think America owes them. Well guess what, America owes you nothing. What happened to duty, honor, respect and love of country?

Go ahead and burn Old Glory, but when you do please remember the thousands lives that perished in war to give you the right.

3. I am forced to work with 100 morons just like this, and I will most
certainly end up in a padded cell anytime now. Retirement is 10 years away, and I just don't think I can stand it that long.

5. WHO gave us those rights?
Well, according to a little document known as the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,


Does that answer his question?
