## Resource

Jonathan Drake continues Spooner's chapter two "if then" gauntlet, this time zeroing in on rights: what they actually are, where they come from, and why the Constitution didn't hand you a single one. Expect a full teardown of the "voting is a right" argument (spoiler: Jon isn't buying it), a Declaration of Independence versus Constitution showdown, and a candid detour into autism, self diagnosis, and processing PTSD from his time in Sudan. Jon also revisits his "highwayman with more honor than a senator" comparison, digs into why majority rule is a form of moral relativism, and explains why calling something a right that violates your neighbor's rights is a contradiction in terms. As always, expect sponsor breaks, chat banter, and a few genuinely funny tangents woven through some seriously dense natural law territory.
