Bill of NO Rights

[raybo]

The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. The guy should have run for President.....


"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, delusional and other liberal 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 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 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, 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 in 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 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. We welcome you here. English is our language and like the one you left behind, we also have a culture. Learn it or go back to the country and the living conditions you were fleeing.

reminds me of the mail I got sent last week. Some idiot was doing DIY and had an itchy nose. So he decided to use the implement in hand ( a power drill ) to scratch his nose! It was attached with a gross photgraph.

He is now trying to sue the power drill manufacturer claiming it did not say "do not stick this drill up your nose and turn it on" in the instructions - like he read them before to make sure....

I hope he gets laughed out of court!

Thats why we need a 'loser pays all court costs' law system. So these con artists will get hit with bills after losing a BS case.

With a suit like the one that Jonathan mentioned, I can't disagree.

My concern over a loser pays system is what happens when you've got a legitimate dispute.

There are plenty of penalties, including payment of attorneys' fees, to the person who files a frivolous complaint or engages in improper behavior. Unfortunately, they are not often enforced.

I'd like to see medical care be affordable to anyone who needs it.
Senior citizens have to choose between meds or food, or the working slob out there that doesn't make enough to be able to buy insurance.
Heck, if a little peeant country like Cuba can do it, the US should be able to figure out a way to do it.
And about that speaking english thing, be sure if ya leave the US you can speak the language of the country you're going to.:out:
That includes going to Texas.
