So... at Remington DENTAL school...

[Steelharp]

I have a daughter in dental school at Remington. She has an essay question, "Which of the ten Bill of Rights would you be willing to give up, and why?" Can I ask WTF that has to do with TEETH?!?!?! I told her "NONE. You are an American citizen, and you're not giving up ANY of your rights, and no one's taking them away from you, either!"

Well, that's a Patriot's litmus test if I've ever seen one.

Yea, that's messed up. Not much there to do with teeth.

[wileecoyote]

Maybe they want to provoke a few fights to see which of the ten results in the most missing teeth from a violent response.

I think it may be a way to get people to think about their rights that they take for granted. I may be wrong, but I sometimes get the feeling that many Americans either don't know or care how so many laws on the books go against our constitution. We of course know how they have already trampled all over the 2nd, but read these and tell me you don't think that most if not all have been violated already.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Let them ask me that right before I start pulling their teeth.

[Sam1]

Her answer should be "none" and the reason why should be as short as "because you can't give up something that doesn't belong to you"

[Just2Honor]

None. It is not in my power to give them up. They were given to me by God.

[A.J. Holst]

I don't have to give them up since guv'mint is trying very hard to take them.
