TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I think not. *Rights* are "the pursuit
of happiness" and other such *rights*
that are mentioned in the U.S.
Constitution and in the U.S. Bill of
Rights.
Please don't misunderstand. I, too, am
unemployed and, after my severance pay
runs out, will also apply for
unemployment.
But unemployment is *not* a right!
I may get flamed for this, but I believe
that we Americans would be wise to stand
up for -- and take responsibility for --
our *rights* and be grateful for legal
privileges, such as driving,
unemployement, education (and so forth).
. . and I believe that we should learn
the difference!
