Technically speaking, the ability to take reasonable action in one's self-interest is an appropriate criteria to judge whether this Republic in which we live, a republic intended to protect individual rights first and foremost, is working properly.

This system which protects such individual freedoms, inherently brings benefit to all citizens, so long as it lasts.

Secretary Harris, no doubt, understands this full well, and her efforts are no doubt geared to preserve this Republic, hence each and every citizen. I don't believe this may fairly be characterized as mere self-interest, but rather as the expression of a heartfelt desire for ALL to have the same freedoms and equal protection as she may enjoy.

This concern for everyone's personal freedoms is the crux of why there is indeed great passion and concern for all citizens embodied within the "right wing" of this country.

When one believes Freedom is key to the wellbeing of the downtrodden, one certainly can become a passionate right-winger who truly seeks the most good for all.

Freedom Works,

Dan B
