Excercising the right not to walk

I'm grateful for my rights, truly. I appreciate that my forebears fought and in some cases died for some of them. I'm glad to have freedom of expression and I use it most days. Freedom of association I find a use for most days too. Freedom of assembly I find less regularly valuable but I'm glad it's there when I need it. Freedom of worship is of no practical benefit to an antitheist, but I'm still in favour of it being available to me. The right to a trial by a jury of my peers...well, I'm very happy to say I've never needed it, but again it's nice to know it's there. And the right to vote, of course, that's something I'm grateful for. If it should ever arise that one of the parties that might credibly be elected to office seems sufficiently different to all the others on an issue which matters to me, I'll vote for (or against) that party. It's important to have the right to keep any hypothetical Nazis out, just by turning up and voting for someone else. But I don't feel any pressing need to exercise my every right - however hard won it may once have been - every time there's the slightest opportunity to do so, and today is no exception. Today I have the right to vote for one of several parties all of which promise, if elected, to do what I consider to be identical things and I don't think it unappreciative or disrespectful of my rights to let matters rest there.
