111. As much of a "right" as those who
...are obese

...drink alcohol/beer

...smoke/snort the whacky fun-stuff

...don't pay my mortgage or credit card bills

...pray to their God, whoever.

Yeah, I'm pretty tolerant of those who choose, as long as they don't force me to eat, inhale, drink, snort,evict me or cut off my head agendas. pEAce.
