Yeah, Animal Farm doesn't really work here. This isn't an issue of taking rights away, it's an issue of recovering rights.

It's an issue of continuing to take rights away, instead of allowing them to be restored.

From a general perspective I agree, but in this case it's talking about recovering rights for emergency personnel

I think carve outs are one of the biggest legislative problems in government. It stinks of "rights for me but not for thee" as another member put it. So, when there are loopholes for special people, I agree with the poster on the first page who suggested we self-identify as one of the special people. Until a court rules otherwise, I support using and abusing every loophole written into the law for special interest groups, from taxes to gun rights to ADA.
