Gil,
Just a point of info, since I didn't see the post that prompted yours. The US
Declaration of Independence lists as an "inalienable right" the _pursuit_ of
happiness. A little reflection reveals that this would be impossible to
rescind, since it has no dependence on outside influences. You can pursue
happiness anywhere under any circumstances; _nothing_ can guarantee you will
catch it. Apologies for being pedantic.
