Everyday I check on my favorite webcomic, Order of the Stick for a dose of fun to start my morning off (or frustration if there are no new strips!) Today, a blurb on the site's news section left me flustered and infuriated with a certain charity...

Yesterday evening, before leaving work, my coworker read about the extension of tours of duty for military personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq. Had he himself not been jerked around by a Marine recruiter literally three days earlier, the news might have gone in one ear and out the other, but he was given the hard-sell from the recruiter who promised one thing then attempted to deliver quite another...not an unfamiliar story.

I need a quick rant break: If people want to `strictly enforce' the Constitution they need to remember the 9th and 10th amendments along with everything else! If after reading those amendments people say that there is no right to privacy (clearly implied since we aren't compelled to testify against ourselves, are granted due process, are protected from search and seizure without said due process, and can't house soldiers in the home without permission) then we need to remember that there is also: No right to drive. No right to property ownership (yeah, it is clearly implied, but not enumerated). No right to listen to music. No right to watch a play. No right to sleep with your wife. No right to work. The list goes on and on. Also, let us not forget that denying certain citizens, but not all, any granted is unconstitutional, including denying gays the right to marry who they choose. After all, there is no right to marriage. Read More
