Of course. Collectives can't have rights.

A union of individual states, not a collective.

A corporation is not a collective. There are shareholders of a
corporation, and those shareholders are the ones who have the corporate
interest. People who work for the corporation have their interests.
Ideally, the interests of the shareholders and the interests of the
employees are aligned. That does not make them a "collective" interest;
it makes them mutually held individual interests.

That doesn't mean material goods or services.

No. It is not "fascism" to say that people don't have a right to goods
or services. They *don't* have any such right.

"Fascism" is just a swearword coming from leftists.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preamble_to_the_United_States_Constitution

The Preamble to the United States Constitution is a brief introductory
statement of the fundamental purposes and guiding principles that the
Constitution is meant to serve. In general terms it states, and courts
have referred to it as reliable evidence of, the Founding Fathers'
intentions regarding the Constitution's meaning and what they hoped it
would achieve (especially as compared with the Articles of
Confederation).

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect
Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the
common defence,[1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

its for all citizens, it does not say persons, it says people. if it

I wouldn't characterize making them as easy - like anything, you get better
with practice, but making a batch big enough for a family meal with enough
left over for freezing can easily consume an afternoon. Homemade are far
better than any I've ever seen in a store, though.

The other point is that "pierogies" is a barbarism - I don't care how often
or from how many sources you see it. "Pierogi" is the plural - if you have
just one, it is a "pierog".

yup and yup.

Making pierogi is much like making tamales; best accomplished with many
hands in the kitchen, and takes an afternoon at least.

I've given up trying to educate people on the finer points of Polish food
names. Try to explain Golabki vs. golabek (and I can't find the "a with a
tail" character), or kolaczki vs. kolaczek.

In chicago, best bets are to get them from local Polish Deli's. We have a
few brands that come out of Chicago, as well. Kasia's are good, and they
have meat and kraut ones. Don't know if they've made it outside the
Chicago area, however. We pay anywhere from $2.99 to $3.99 a pound, at
least.

So does my girlfriend. Seemed a little odd at first, but they taste
fine. I do like the caramelized onions (which is not a byproduct of
baking), and some sour cream...

Those are the same folks who predicted that Sarah Palin would win, and who
celebrated when the US lost the Olympics.
I wouldn't take their predictions too seriously.
