<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 162374, member: 3011&quot;]This is completely off topic, but the above statement is completely false.&nbsp; The Constitution is a collection of defined powers delegated by the states and the people to the federal government [there are 18 if them, can you list them?] .&nbsp; A few of the Founding Fathers didn&#039;t like the idea of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution because they feared that someday it would be interpreted as a complete list of rights granted by the government to the people.&nbsp; But most other people believed that American citizens would never become so stupid and uneducated that they would believe that, and thought the list would be useful as an extra restriction on government, not on people.&nbsp; The right to collect coins and other objects&nbsp; is closely related to the concept of private property.&nbsp; And it is a right, not a government granted privilege as long as the Constitution is operative.</p><p><br /></p><p>...but that&#039;s enough gasoline poured on that fire,&nbsp; so I&#039;ll stop and apologize in advance. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
