Wendy McElroy: Only Places Have Rights?

“The queue of ‘rights that depend on geography’ is growing. Texting while walking has become the new social sin. Portland, Oregon just made it illegal for a man to whistle on public streets unless he keeps walking and, so, distributes the noise pollution.  Bloomberg’s ban on donations of food to homeless shelters because the city could not guarantee the salt, fat and fiber content.  Bureaucrats want to yank rights out from under individuals and make them a matter of place, not people. All you need to do is be in the wrong place, and you have no rights. Speak out, drink a large soda, hand out literature, walk your dog, or whistle too long in one place…crime is everywhere.”
