The Edwards' YouTube Interview

This is about a week old now, but if you haven't seen it, watch until the very end when Edwards answers the question "right or privilege?"

Here's the full transcript of the "Right or Privilege" portion:

Question: A college education?

Edwards: Right.

Q: Health care?

E: Right.

Q: A livable wage?

E: Right.

Q: Owning a handgun?

E: Privilege.

Q: American citizenship for someone not born here but has worked here for one year?

E: Working for one year? That's a hard one, because I think people have to earn citizenship. I think I would have a period be longer than one year.

Q: Five years maybe?

E: Five years for sure.

Q: Access to the Internet?

E: That should be a right.

For the record, the only item that Edwards thought was a privilege, and not a right, was a right found in the Bill of Rights.
