Okay, let's say I have the right to eat all the Spam I want. You also have the right to eat all the Spam you want. But neither of us have the right to eat anything else.
The thing is, you don't like Spam. And eating Spam makes you miserable and ill. In fact, you were born with a body that gets no nourishment whatsoever from Spam.
I, on the other hand, love Spam. I was born with a body that runs perfectly fine on nothing but!
Hungry? Here, have some Spam. You can have all you want, just like me! Wait, you don't like it? You can't be happy and healthy on a diet of nothing but Spam, and would like the opportunity to eat something else? Not gonna happen. Those of us who are satisfied with Spam have defined the act of "eating" as "eating Spam," so, uh, that's all there is. When we said that bit about "the pursuit of happiness" we were only talking about people who were happy eating nothing but Spam. Sorry! But since you have the same right to eat something that nourishes me and gives you nothing but empty calories, you really don't have anything to complain about.
