LOL! A blanket....that's great!
Does the Constitution provide you with the right to feel secure? Where exactly is that? Does it come with a blanket?

Thanks, I needed a good laugh. Yes this is all kind of confusing, as most things having to do with the government or our laws, seem to be.

As for the feeling of security, I was referring to the preamble ".....insure domestic tranquility....and secure the blessings of liberty...". Just my take, but then again, this could be a pretty broad topic also, so maybe one man's tranquility is another man's chaos. wink

I liked the articles, and something reminded me of when I was a kid. We would sneak a beer or 2 occasionally, and one time while we were partaking in the street in our neighborhood, we saw a cop walking towards us so we put the beers under our shirts (still holding them). When he approached us he said he knew that we had beer but he couldn't force us to show what we were hiding. We were about 13 or 14 so we didn't have ID and "the man" didn't hassle us and he left. My, how times have changed! happy
