DS,

Driving an automobile is a privilege, not a right.
Voting is a right.

I don't comprehend the distinction. Please explain.

interesting point. But I wonder if this is more than a semantic difference if you really get to the bottom of it. I mean, we have certain criteria for voting, and certain criteria for driving. If you meet them, you get to do the things in question, if you don't meet them, you don't.

<<Voting is a right. >>

I seem to recollect from my school days, that "every democratic right is accompanied by a responsibility to understand the right, and not abuse the right"
