What makes them think they have the right?

Nice Rant...I don't agree as to eating a cat, and returning to the ancient Roman mentality of arena games, but your points are well taken, at least by me. I also agree about our politicians, they are all way too corrupt and need to be voted out of office. Such is the price paid for living in a free country. I've never actually said this to anyone before, but if you feel America is too regulated for you, by all means, leave. You will never find another country like ours, it is far and away the best country in the world.
