chapter 3: so you don't go so far that the legitimate rights on some legislation are, are, you know, impinged on

some of you may have noticed that i changed the mis-spelling in the title of the previous chapter. i know some feel that i should have left it. maybe as an indictment of my bad spelling (and an indication of my distractedness), but i'd spell every word wrong if it wasn't for spell check. maybe it works well as a joke, but who would get it? but whatever. i reserve the right to change whatever i like on this blog. when i say right i actually don't mean anything since i think i've stopped believing in anything, including rights. but i'm just starting to think my way through the implications. i mean, what relation do rights have to authority? if all authority is constructed authority, where does that leave our rights? where do our rights come from?

i don't know.

rights are a mess. every thinks they have them. or everyone expects they have them in basically every situation. maybe they do. or maybe rights are like everything else and only exhist because of our own perceptions of them. i dont' know. i get confused a lot when i think about rights.
