In 2 sentences or less: What do you believe you should have the Right to do?

I'm not looking for legal mumbo jumbo, or a listing of the bill or rights. I'm looking for one simple all incompasing statement that answers the question what do YOU personally believe you should have the Right to do?

My rights are too complicated to be expressed in 2 sentences. 8^) I've spent a long time learning about them, just so I'd know them.

Basically, though, I have the right to do anything that doesn't hurt anyone else. And the right to believe anything or hold any values that seem reasonable to me, again so long as they don't impinge on the rights of others. Peoples' individual rights do sometimes conflict, and that's why we have courts.

(That's 3 sentences, sorry.)

I should have the right to be a productive citizen of this world to whatever extent that I wish. Also, I should have the right to choose a government that I deem best for my lifestyle; I should not be forced to live under an oppressive bureaucracy.

I have the right to live. No one should be able to just kill me.
I have the right to the fruits of my own labor & my property.
I have the right to make decisions for myself, right or wrong.
I have a right to think & feel whatever I want, but I do not have a right to act on my thoughts.

That's what you had in mind?
