Well, Doug, I find them actually pretty hard to break. For instance I used to be quite a liar-- this was many years ago. I can't lie now, at all. It just doesn't work. The lie-function appears to have been taken offline. Even when I can talk myself into one, for logic's sake, i just can;t seem to do it. It's very embarrassing-- people keep asking me what I THINK, and there I go! I think the least God could have done was teach me the lessons on tact FIRST-- but no! Gotta build that track while the train is runnning full tilt! Dang!

But civil liberties are another matter entirely. They actually do follow you around! I guess it's because they have become a complex set of expectations and obligations... as soon as I try to get shut of one, it bites me in the ass and says, "Oh no you don't, I'm right here!"

Take the right of free speech for instance. I TRY to keep silent (People might talk! I have a position in the community to protect! *G*) But there are all these opportunities to spill it, just BEGGING me to spew-- what can I do????
