pursuit of happiness

Last night I remembered a house in Seattle’s university district where I lived for a couple years of college. I shared the house with James and Andy and Tom – all in school of some sort. James had accrued a pile of parking tickets from parking near a building where he made art. He went to court and protested the tickets because, he said, the fine/tickets were interfering with his constitutional right to pursue happiness through making art.
