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?
