I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberators -- they fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?

Surely the right of a freeman to vote has a much greater effect on our collective lives than does any individual's firearm.

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).

Animal rights has never been about equal rights, but about least harm and rights as fits the species. So a chicken does not need the right to vote, but perhaps should have the right to spread her wings, which is a right that is not applicable to humans.
