PROTECTING RIGHTS

Recently, the Supreme Court of Canada said it's unconstitutional to
randomly search schools for drugs with sniffer dogs and the same for
a person getting off a bus in Calgary.

What about my rights and the rights of my kids? Don't they have the
right to go to school and not be faced with drugs? Bring on the
sniffer dogs! I welcome them because I am not afraid. I don't use
dope. Nor do my kids.

If I get off a long-distance bus, search me. I'd rather have my
neighbours there, or wherever, know they're alright around me. Isn't
that my right? Am I not allowed to look forward to having enjoyment
of life, protection of body? The Supreme Court wants me to give up my
rights to protect lunatics and losers?

People want to have unprotected sex, people want to carry guns and
knives, people want to buy and sell and use dope. Then that is your
right. OK? But you face the consequences - you - not me.
