I'm using DU to independently test a statement made to me in a conversation. So this question is being presented without comment or framing. But please, kick this poll instead of puppies.

[font size="4"]Which statement statement below about your own political and civil rights is most in line with your understanding and political ideology? [/font]

(thanks)

I would have voted for: "We are born with rights, but governments often take them away." pampango Apr 2013 #19

Yeah, but you gotta admit its sobering nearly half those answering said "comes from gov't" Bucky Apr 2013 #20
