kallend 2,147 #101 July 29, 2009 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteOn the whole I'd like at least some of the best and brightest to become designers of airplanes, bridges, etc. It would be nice to be able to force some of them into those career fields, wouldn't it? Couldn't we get superior bridges and airplanes declared rights of the people? Yes comrade. You DO have the right to be safe on a bridge or airplane, and can sue if a defective design caused injury. Very capitalist, in fact. I believe you are using the wrong words here, and words ARE important, according to our new CIC. I have reasonable expectation of safety on the bridge and in the aircraft, but it's not a right, in the context of human rights and the Constitution. If I sue, its not for a violation of civil rights. My rights involve not being negligently killed, IMO.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

TomAiello 26 #102 July 29, 2009 QuoteIts not a matter of more being better but 'the closest equivalent to the UK "doctor" is a Nurse Practitioner' is a stupid and uninformed statement. Apologies. I was basing that statement on the (apparently erroneus) information provided by CornishChris. I made the (apparently incorrect) assumption that he was accurately presenting the UK training scheme. The 7 years pf training figure was drawn only from his post. FWIW, I do not regard additional schooling at the pre-University level to be equivalent to additional training at the post-M.D. level.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is not the "source" of them. Blues, Cliff As stated in the constitution the source is GOD! Also, if we can get our rights from elsewhere then the constitution is a useless document. The constitution was to stand alone. Can we get our rights from another countries constitution. NO! Either follow the constitution or don't but don't try to pretend you do when you clearly don't.

cliffwhite 0 #106 July 29, 2009 QuoteHealthcare is a COMMODITY, not a right. I agree that there is no "right" to healthcare. At the same time I don't see any constitutional provision allowing the government to regulate which drugs I as a sovereign citizen can have access to.
