I am always surprised when I refuse to sign a petition - and the petitioner gets pissed. I always explain that ‘you’ the petitioner has a right to present it but I, under the umbrella of the same principles that protect your rights, have the right NOT to sign it.

Too often we think of freedom as the right to do what WE want but are distressed by the notion that freedom also means we have the freedom not to do what YOU want.

You always have the right to express yourself and I always have the right (personally or in my privately owned business) not to listen, support, or amplify your BS.

Can you smell the freedom? Sometimes it’s pleasant and sometimes it stinks!
