Did I make sense?

Yes, dear, you make perfect sense, and I would NEVER presume to preach my values or opinions as something someone else should adopt. And I agree, if you noticed in my post, I did say it was a RIGHT. I believe it is the right of every human being too, but think of it this way. If those men and women hadn't went to war to preserve this right/freedom we sometimes take for granted, who knows what kind of oppressive or facist government we would be under now, never being able to speak up, doing the jobs that the government told us we had to do, or even standing in line for toilet tissue for crying out loud. I guess in a way you are right and I DO think of it as a kind of duty, because, I feel that if I don't exercise my freedoms and rights, then those men and women died in vain somehow. But that's just my humble opinion.
Fawn: I'm sorry sweetie. I thought for some strange reason that you were in BC or out west somewhere. Don't know where I got that crazy idea! lol I have a friend who lives in London. You and I are not that far apart. We should get together sometime!
And yes, I agree with you. I want the impossible too. Like, TRUE communism. Perfect in theory, but impossible to achieve. We are but lowly humans after all.
