Ah, that word "privilege" again - the favorite word of censors,
repressors, and control freaks everywhere. Some say free speech is a
privilege, not a right. Others say driving on the highways is a
privilege. Some in America today say a fair trial is a privilege
reserved only for Americans, not a right for all (and certainly not
for those locked away in American military prisons for years now,
perhaps to never see their homes or families again). Indeed, is seems
just about anything can be pushed aside with the "privilege" word. An
American president has even said citizenship for those born in America
is a privilege, not a right.
