Quote of the Day


There is only one human right: To do as you damn well please.There is only one human duty: To live with the consequences.

Healthcare is NOT a "right"


Healthcare is NOT a "right"

My right to free speech does not impose a cost on someone else.
My right to bear arms does not impose a cost on someone else.
My right to own property does not impose a cost on someone else.
My right to practice my faith does not impose a cost on someone else.

Rights, by function, create a net gain for society, and do not cost more than its value in being retained by someone.

Entitlements, however, do.

Healthcare is not a right; it's a commodity.
