   And not getting $1MM presumably negatively impacts your happiness.  Are   
   you then going to take, by force, $$ from your rich neighbor?  Of course   
   not.  Try again.   
      
   People are free to /pursue/ happiness, but not -- repeat NOT -- demand   
   it from others.  Try again, again.   
      
   What right is violated by not baking a cake?
