The New Bill of Rights

I saw this and thought I'd share...get ya'll stirred up a bit!


The New Bill of 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...and like the rest of us you
need to simply deal with it.

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 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, pool tables, weight rooms, or
a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII:

You don't have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job,
and will gladly help you along during hard times, but we expect you to take
advantage of the opportunities of part time jobs, 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.
