The ability to do it, is the same as saying you have the right to do.Do some yoga...you have the right to get more flexibleSure...but that doesn't mean the lion couldn't still eat him.Yes we are born free. The human construction is the limitations on that freedom...ie Govt.huh? explain that?huh? what do you think a right is?Your first post, then sort of contradicts your second.Wrong.it is certainly a right..you have the right to own property in this country...that includes a company, or shares of a company. If you own shares of a company you have a right to go to share holder meetings.Attending a shareholders’ meeting is not a ‘right,’ however – hence the false comparison fallacy.Since voting is a right, you have to make sure those doing it actually are entitled to that right. Non-citizens do not have that right, so verification of citizenship is a logical prerequisite.Hypocrites.
It's so important to protect the sanctity of our shareholders and keep the riff raff out, but, the sanctity of your vote is not important to us.

Coca-Cola required ID in 2020 shareholder meeting, but slams Georgia for voter ID law

Coca-Cola has released a statement condemning Georgia’s new voting legislation, but the company requires valid ID to be admitted to its annual meeting of shareholders.
“At the entrance to the meeting, we will verify your registration and request to see your admission ticket and a valid form of photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport,” the company wrote in reference to its 2020 annual meeting of shareholders, held before the coronavirus pandemic.
Georgia’s new voting law requires a drivers’ license or state ID number be listed to submit an absentee ballot to vote, among other new reforms. The state already required ID to vote in person. It had previously relied on signature matching to verify ballots.
Coca-Cola is based in Atlanta. This week, the beverage company, among other Georgia-based companies, issued statements condemning the new legislation after threats of boycott.
I suppose a Coca-Cola board meeting is a right then.
Obviously, Coke who thinks minorities are too stupid to get an ID, also doesn't want them owning or partaking in company policies.
Constitutional rights concern solely the relationship between government and those governed, not between or among private persons or private entities.
Coca-Cola is not government, it is a private entity.
The state of Georgia is government, subject to Constitutional restrictions – such as being prohibited from placing an undue burden to the right to vote.
Well, rights are, generally, defined as a power that the government doesn't have and you do, and are protected from government intrusion.
Literally the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights were a power grab against the

Is it a RIGHT to own property? Or is it something that you can just do?
There's a big difference.
What do you think a "right" is?
Well, a right is a power taken from the people with power, usually the monarch or the government and given to the people.
People have a tendency of saying they have a right to everything and anything when it's not really a right.
I agree that a right is something that individuals have and the Govt generally can not take away or limit without due proces
So yes, you have a right to own property.
As far as your second point, no rights do not come from Govt. at least not in our Country, or any free society.
Well, not really. Not sure which first post you're talking about. The first post was that attending a board meeting isn't a right. And it's not. It's just something you can do.
A right is a power that has been taken away from those with the most power.
A right has been taken away from someone with power? Everyone has rights, we are all born with them, we are all born free. Locke said it best, and you can find his influence directly in our Founders and Founding documents...we are born with certain unalienable rights, the rights to life, liberty, and right to property, or pursuit of happiness.
These rights aren't taken from anyone...we all of them inheritably
We're actually not born with rights.
Rights is a human construct. We've developed a nice little story around what rights are. Some claim they've from God, others claim they're there because we're human.
The reality is something different.
And I understand the theories behind rights, but I'm looking at the reality of rights.
Really? So a caveman was born and he could do whatever he wanted? If a lion came up to him and was like "yo, cavedude, I'm going to eat you", the cavedude could reply "nah, I was born free, feck off"?why
Exactly.
The lion has POWER. The caveman has power too.
Is the caveman therefore "free"?
Not really. It's the problem with anarchism. If you have anarchy, people will step in and take power and impose it on others. So you end up with no anarchy anyway.
"freedom" is often an illusion. We're controlled by forces around us all the time regardless of whether it's normal people, government forces like the police, bosses, the system, whatever.
No one has ever been 100% free.
"Freedom" is relative. We look at China and say "they're not free", and they might look at you and say "well, look at your crime rate, how is that free?"
Are you really saying that China’s system is better?
Did you see me write "China's system is better"? If not, then no, I'm not saying that.
By supposing what a Chinese person would prose, you implied that their system is better....
Fine, great conversation. I've got better things to do, like trying to lick the soles of my feet.
The right or the ability?
It's not a right, the government never tried to take away people's ability to be flexible.
The Govt doesn't have to try and take a right from you, for that right to exist.
