BINGO! The CotUS RESTRICTS -- the government and makes sure that the powers
loaned to it (by the governed, from where all power flows) are temporary and
recall-able whenever the source (governed) so determine it is appropriate.

All Rights pre-existed all governments are are part of existence as a human
being (inherent in life). When understood at this most basic level, all the
enumerated Bill or Rights (a simple list of examples that was not all-inclusive)
make sense. The 2nd Amendment flows from the right to life and provides the
means by which said life can be protected against external forces (individual
and governmental) which might seek to take or enslave life. The examples go on
from there.

Freedom is relative, depending on your effective ability to exercise those
rights.

Conversely, active exercise of one's rights can increase or maintain your
overall freedom -- but that's a fairly unpopular stance these days, alas ...

The right to travel is provided by someone else? Who? Amtrak? General
Motors?

Who has to grant you the privilege to bear arms?

Kudoes.

Hey, Alan, we really liked your latest album. Say "Hi" to Jimmy Buffet for
us.

Thank you all for the good wishes. It was a good day, even if Tiger did
not win the green jacket. Opened a bottle of 10yo BenRiach and smoked
(indoor) a Cuabe Tradicionales. Winter is over. ;-)
