Thank you. Read the whole quote. He's just listing everyday things most people take for granted. Pointing out that these people won't be able to do them. Stupid to zero in on "write a poem". BTW, George Bernard Shaw did

Yep. Also a right can't be guaranteed if there is a limited resource needed to provide it. If healthcare is a human right, and half the country dies due to some plague, who will provide the healthcare that is guaranteed. This is just a

They keep bumping up the starting wage. $12/hr for fast food. You can get a nice one bedroom here for $800/month. No long commutes here. I never said I had a definition of lazy. I just said that some people are lazy and some aren&
