Some of these are questionable.

I can travel to the next town without "papers."

I can own property.

As long as you pay your property taxes, assuming your state has them, and the government doesn't decide the great collective good is more important than your owning said property.

I can drive a car and go anywhere.
I do not need permission.

I like how these two are right next to each other, since you need a driver's license to get pretty much anywhere in your car. Not to mention all the other things you need permission for.

I can pay taxes to have the great roads and highways we have.

Paying taxes makes me all warm and fuzzy inside too.

I have flush toilets.

As long as they meet the federal low flow standards or your house is old enough to have real ones.

I have the right to carry a gun.

Maybe in Vermont and Alaska.

I can call anyone…anywhere…without wiretaps on the phone.

Is this one a joke or something?

I can marry anyone whom I choose.

hahahahah

I can own a house.

See the I can own property one above.

I can send a letter anywhere without having it intercepted by authorities.

I'm going to have to put this one in the wiretaps on the phone category.

I have nothing to fear from my government as long as I adhere to the Law.

This one is just disturbing. I hope it's a joke. I especially like how the Law is capitalized.

I have the right or trial by jury.

Carol Asher.

I am free.
I have liberty.
I have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

NIEVE NITWITT> HAS NOT LIVED A LONG TIME YET> Has not learned you belong to the government. Just try not paying your taxes ie. State, Sales, Property,Federal , SS, Medicare and such nonsence as the Spanish Amercian War that was at the turn of 1900's. Yea I know The REPUBS did get this nonsence stoped.

I can go to any church I want to.

Did that this morning. In fact, we talked about starting another
Church in the next township. It was wonderful to exercise one of
those rights that was one of the primary reasons why this country
was founded in the first place --freedom of worship. It was appropriate
that this was #1 on the list!

I can get a bank loan for those things I cannot afford.

You don't even have to be a citizen for that one. How about 125% of
the appraised value for a 30 yr term? Just wait till you get slapped by that
adjustable "strong" ARM later. But, that was *your* choice to take it.

Some of those other things on the list need to be crossed off, though,
as a bit naive in our modern times.
