The Non-Bill of Rights





       We the People.....Of  The United
States


       This is probably
one of the best e-mail's
 I've seen in a long, long time.
The
       following has been attributed to
State
 Representative Mitchell Aye from
GA.
       This guy should run for President
one
 day...

       "We the
sensible people of the United
 States, in an attempt to help
everyone
       get along, restore some
semblance of
 justice, avoid 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.

       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 they require a Bill of
NON-
      
Rights."

       ARTICLE I: You do not
have the right to a
 new car, big screen TV, or any
other
       form of wealth. More power to you
if you
 can legally acquire them, but no
one
       is guaranteeing
anything.

       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, turn 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.

       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 fry in
the
 electric chair.

      
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. All of us sure want you
to
       have a job, and will gladly help
you
 along in hard times, but we expect you
to
       take advantage of the opportunities
of
 education and vocational training
laid
       before you to make yourself
useful.

       ARTICLE IX: You do not
have the right to
 happiness. Being an American
means
       that you have the right to
PURSUE
 happiness, which by the way, is a lot
easier
       if you are unencumbered by
an
 overabundance of idiotic laws created by
those
       of you who were confused by the
Bill of
 Rights.

      
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking
 country. We don't care where you
are
       from, English is our language. Learn
it
 or go back to wherever you came
from!
       (lastly....)
NOW..

       ARTICLE XI: You do not
have the right to
 change our country's history
or
       heritage. This country was founded on
the
 belief in one true God. And yet,
you
       are given the freedom to believe in
any
 religion, any faith, or no faith
at
       all; with no fear of persecution.
The
 phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of
our
       heritage and history, and if you
are
 uncomfortable with it,
TOUGH!!!!

       If you agree, share
this with a friend.
 No, you don't have to, and
nothing
       tragic will befall you if you
don't. I
 just think it's about time common
sense
       is allowed to flourish. Sensible
people
 of the United States speak out
because
       if you do not, who
will?
