Ditto food, heat, and in certain areas AC (we can't have grandma falling over from heatstroke). Sex is a basic human need or "right". I expect Hillary to do something about that as soon as she is elected. Well, not her personally, but perhaps a voucher for the Bunny Ranch or something. Those greedy prostitutes, making money off of a basic human necessity. Down with hos and HMOs. And these constant Bear attacks. I am so sick of these constant Bear attacks.

Healthcare isn't a right but rather a basic service that a government aught to provide to it's citizens. As for your water bill, look at how much it costs you compared to other services you pay for. It's heavily subsidized by your locale. Of course nothing is ever for free, you pay for everything either via your own pocket or through taxes. So that subsidized water bill, you're paying the cost of it via the likes of property tax.


As for hos, I'm with you on that . I dream of a day where I can say "I want sex right now, holding out on me is a violation of my civil rights."

Also, if something isn't a right can we infer that it's a privilege?
