About This Quote

This is a quote by the philosopher Robert Heinlein, who wrote the book Stranger in a Strange Land, which was about people living on other planets. He had this to say about right and wrong. My take on it is simple: If you want something, you have the right to take it. If you want to do something, you have the right to do it.
