Well, I guess if you wish to use sound to make your plants grow bigger, that's your right. However, if you're blasting hip-hop rap to do so, it's my right to call the cops to issue a disturbing the peace citation...
SONIC BLOOM Specific sound can make plants grow faster, more fruitful. healthier, stronger, more nutritious, with longer shelf life. Over 20 years of making plants and growers happy.

Wait until all the wealthy baby-boomers start retiring in droves. All of a sudden the AARP lobby in defense of driving being a "right" (especially for the elderly and infirm) will become very strong.
Driving IS a virtual right in the U.S. Cripes, we hand out licenses to anyone/everyone with little or no expectation of skill or competence. There's simply too much money to be made off of making licenses harder to obtain.

When I was in Florida last year, I saw more parking lot fender-benders in two weeks than I have seen before or since. 100% involved at least one elderly person. In one, two old people backed out of their respective parking spaces across from each other and into each other at the same time!

Why is it that driving is MUCH easier to do (which is a privilege or a right not mentioned in the Constitution) than buying a gun (which is specifically protected by the Constitution because of the potential for abuse)?
