A Bill of No Rights

[Guest guest]

The following was written by State Representative Kaye from GA.

They are articles for the " Age of Reason " .

You may find it interesting:

" WE, THE SENSIBLE PEOPLE of the United States, in an attempt to help

everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots,

keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of

debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren,

hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense

guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt-ridden, deluded, and other

Bed-wetters. We hold

these truths to be self-evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by

the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of NO Rights. "

ARTICLE I: You do NOT have the right to a new car, big screen TV, biggest

And fastest new computer, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if

you Can legally acquire them, but this government is not in the business of

Guaranteeing these luxuries. Live with an old car and a 19 " TV.

ARTICLE II: You do NOT have the right to never be offended. This

country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -not just

you! You may leave the room, change the channel, express a different

opinion, etc.., but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will

be.

ARTICLE III: You do NOT have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a

screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool

manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy

because of your stupidity or lack of skill.

ARTICLE IV: You do NOT have the right to free food and housing. Americans

are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in

need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after

generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the

creation of

another generation of professional couch potatoes!

ARTICLE V: You do NOT have the right to free health care. That would be

nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in

public health care

ARTICLE VI: You do NOT have the right to physically harm other

people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be

surprised if the rest of us want to see you sit in the electric chair for a

short period of time.

ARTICLE VII: You do NOT have the right to the possessions of others. If you

rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be

surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where

you STILL won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a

life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You do NOT have the right to a job regardless of race, creed,

sexual preference or religion. Take advantage of the opportunities of

education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful

and self supportive. Don't expect a free ride from the government or your

community.

ARTICLE IX: You do NOT have the right to happiness. Being an American

means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness. Make your own happiness,

don't

sit there and wait for it to be given to you.

AMEN

Stay safe
