Do we REALLY have the RIGHT?

We are said to have "Freedom" living here in the United States, but is this really the case? Have you felt limited in your actions and thoughts? I'm pretty sure I have. It seems that you have to have connections in this world to navigate and successfully get through life. I don't really believe in freedom. There just seems to be so much injustice going on in this world, and the people who act out against it are easily silenced or simply discredited. This shows that there is some type of freedom, but it is insignificant when compared to the amount of power that the elite hold.

We have the right to do many things as long as it doesn't harm others. We have the right to small, insignificant things such as the right to have weapons, the freedom of speech, the right to sue someon, etc. But these rights don't amount to much in this world where there is much more going on. There are things happening all around the world, and we just have these measly local rights that don't even get us that far.

With that said, how many rights do you have? Have you examined these rights and actually seen how far you can go with them? I doubt that you have, and in the end, you probably can't get very far with these "rights" that you assume you have. How can we achive stronger rights if we don't band together to achieve this common goal? I hope and pray that one day, we will have rights that are actually more acknowledged. I hope that the word "right" actually has some meaning and that "freedom" actually entales being free in some manner, more than it does today, without recklessness.
