[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2236580, member: 18914"] I have no problem with what you are saying in general - but where is the place (it certainly has never been so in the U.S.) where rights are simply protected without any action required by the involved citizen? Think of the fights over the Alien and Sedition Acts, the fights of black Americans to gain in reality the rights they were guaranteed by law, etc. The "norm" is a continual struggle and reassertion of rights and, lets be honest, some adaptation over time. This is like discussing weather - there is an average temp but that doesn't mean it is always that temp. It is just on balance, over time that makes it the "norm". [/QUOTE]
