What you're saying is, "I" have a right that I must be forced to be  
educated against my wishes? I don't recall requesting that right, so  
someone must have done it "for" me. You know, if we have to give up  
any rights in the "WAR ON {TERROR,DRUGS}", I will happily volunteer  
that one and any like it.

... Wow, you know what? You were right, I *do* feel safer after giving  
up that one.
