    Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most…their government took them away. and rights aren’t rights if someone can take em away. They’re priveledges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get’s shorter, and shorter, and shorter.

    There’s a longer version of this great routine by George Carlin, as well as recordings from live shows. I highly recommend reading the whole thing - it helps put a lot of this into perspective.
