NCR...NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION
'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 for the terminally whiny, guilt
> ridden, delusional, 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 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 over abundance 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! (and lastly....)
>
> ARTICLE XI:
> You do not have the right to change our country's history or
> heritage. This country was founded on the belief in 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!!!!
