A right is whatever someone wants or desires or lusts after

“We throw this term around like confetti these days, but I doubt the average liberal can define it. He thinks a right is some sort of cosmic force that guarantees him access to whatever he happens to want. He wants a phone, therefore he has a right to it. He wants a college education, therefore he has a right to it. He wants $15 an hour to sprinkle salt on fries at Wendy’s, therefore he has a right to it. He wants to have his romantic relationship with another man officially recognized by the State as a ‘marriage,’ therefore he has a right to it. And so on.”

There was a TV commercial a couple of years ago, a woman talking about she could not afford a computer for her kid in elementary school, but now, because of some program (available by calling an 800 number), her son could get the computer he deserved.

Yes, deserved. Having a computer was his right. He deserved one. He was the same as other kids, whose parents could afford to buy computers. Everybody else has one, therefore I should have one, too. They are no better than I am.

The only reason a student deserves a computer is if the school requires each student to have one.

Was a time when other kids in class had big boxes of crayons, 24 and 36, 48 and 64 and more. I had a box of eight. I would have liked a bigger box, but I had what my parents could afford. On the first day of drawing and coloring, big box kids used burnt orange, sienna and other colors I had never heard of. Other kids used black, white, red, blue, green, yellow, purple and whatever the eighth color was.

Never did I think the school should have provided a big box of crayons to me.
