The ‘right’ to education, the ‘right’ to health care, the ‘right’ to food and housing… That’s not freedom, that’s dependency. Those aren’t rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle
P. J. O’Rourke. Quoted in Speech Opening Cato Institution. (via volkstem)
I hate it when people say we have a right to these things. Then they usually invoke some sad emotional imagery of a starving child, or a child who’s patents can’t afford healthcare to try and sway you. Would that be sad? Of course it would, I’m not heatless, but is it really relevant or true? Where will these new “rights” stop?
