Some of these choices go together. Quartering is a violation of property rights.
Protesting is a form of speech. The press falls in the speech category as well.

Maybe allow for more than one choice on this poll?

And, fatcat's correct - voting is not a right.

Everything is inter-related.

"property" or more specifically, your person/self as property.

Logic error--use of radio buttons instead of checkboxes.

free speech can help you get the other rights, with just guns and no free speech then you would just have the sheeple just turn in their guns because government told them that guns are bad.



I think that Idea's and spreading of Idea's are the most important weapon

with 100% free speech it would be easier to down talk the government and the Media could get more involved

No freedoms matter if you don't have the tools to keep them.

I will say no more.

Isn't property the only right? Those other ones you mentioned seem to be really just types of property.

Realistically speaking, I don't think I'm willing to DIE for any right. I'm really interested in liberty in my lifetime. Now, there are ones I'd risk my life for, but if I knew that I'd die, I'd probably not pick that fight.

It's almost impossible for me to answer that question though, since the only think I consider a "right" is life, liberty and property and I consider them the same right, not a heirarchy.

"Self-ownership" would probably be the biggest spark. I'm already a member of the FSP, but if that passed in Janurary 2009, I think I'd just up and move right then. Of course, the "War" on drugs is essentially the same issue as is the ability to sell one's labor and own the tools of that labor...

So yeah, that's a really tough questions to answer since they're all so tightly enmeshed.

I'd die for a right if not having it meant my death anyway, or a very similar fate to me and others.  Essentially, this is where I place the "coming to take our guns" stand.  I personally seen this happen, so I can't say I'm certain how I would respond, but I believe I'm prepared to find out.
