Like many of you, I am a product of the public schools. Like many of you I thought the Constitution was for lawyers and judges. One day I read the Constitution, and was surprised to find I didn't need a law degree to understand it.

163 – A Government is Made up of People
I’m guilty of it as well. Talking about governments, federal, state, and local, as if they were some sort of foreign entity. But we should always remember that governments are something special. They are organizations, and they are made up of people.

162 – Rhode Island and the Right to Try Act
Do you own your own body? It seems a simple enough question. But in today’s society not only do you not own your body, but others claim the right to tell you what you can and cannot do with it. They believe that they have the authority to tell you when a medical treatment is to dangerous… even if you’re dying. And the state of Rhode Island wants to take a step toward fixing that.
