The Political Spectrum

Some folks love doing their thing And it brings in money and bling! Just let me make hay The conservatives say Even when it gives others a sting Do people all have basic rights? Are some blown away like lost kites? It seems there’s no end Of a bad mess to mend And liberals take on these fights Author's Note: When the right to make a ton of bucks interferes with other rights that people have--watch out. I get particularly offended by people who exercise their freedom (and by doing so) interfere with my right to clean air and water and freedom from intrusive smells and noise. This argument can be extended to a variety of situations. Where do your rights end and mine begin? This is the tip of a massive iceberg (which could be melting due to global warming).
