And you are the one that determines when someone is foolishly abusing those rights? Hardly.

As long as no-one is breaking the law in exercising their God given rights, they are fine, regardless of whether it offends your sensibilities or not.

And it sounds like your sensibilities are easily offended if anyone steps out of your comfort zone.

Man up, and quit being afraid of the boogey man of 'harming your cause'. It exists mostly in your mind anyway.

Concerning “God-given rights”:

1 Cor 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

1 Cor 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Does she have a “God-given right” to feed her child in public? Yes. But if I were asked not to do something when I came to someone’s event, then I wouldn’t do it, or wouldn’t go. Do I have a “God-given right” to take a gun anywhere I want? I think so, but if you have a “no guns” sign on your front door, I might choose not to go.

In this case, it’s about politeness, or “decorum”, as one FReeper said, not life or death. She could have been the bigger person, and followed the rules.

OR - if we still lived in a SANE society, the organizers could have allowed her to stay without fearing that some ambulance-chaser would take all their money.

NO ONE is at fault here. We just have someone who assumed rules don’t apply to her, and someone who assumed they would be financially ruined if they let her stay. No-win.
