RP Members and Connections I found this picture very interesting and thought I would create some discussion. What are some of the things we can actually do without Government Permission?
Serve our Country in the Military? (Need permission, right?)
Is our Government too involved in our Freedoms and Rights?
Taking Drugs for me meant prescription drugs!
Your thoughts & comments are welcome.

The CDR in the field needs to do whatever is needed to protect his troops and complete the objective.

Agreed, in wartime, Civilian laws are often disregarded for strategic reasons. However, I believe the original question was not meant to be focused on a wartime period, but rather on a normal peacetime view, in our culture, and in the aspect wof what is normal in everyday life.

For those who do not understand FREEDOM.
Freedom is the ability to act without fear of coercion.
freedom : the quality or state of being free: such as
a : the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action
b : liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another : independence
c : the quality or state of being exempt or released usually from something onerous freedom from care
AND
Liberty: the quality or state of being free:
a : the power to do as one pleases
b : freedom from physical restraint
c : freedom from arbitrary or despotic (see despot 2) control
d : the positive enjoyment of various social, political, or economic rights and privileges
e : the power of choice
This definition is what was meant by Jefferson when he wrote "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Rights are not granted by the Constitution. They are specifically spelled out so as to delineate them for posterity. Those rights mentioned in the Constitution are not all inclusive. You have no Constitutional Rights. You have Inherent Rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. GUARANTEED.....not GRANTED. There is a huge difference.
If the Constitution granted Rights, they would not be rights but privileges. Anything granted by Constitutional Amendment or the State can be taken away by Constitutional Amendment or the State.
Too many Americans are ignorant of this state of affairs.
I cringe every time someone says that they have Constitutional Rights.
