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

[
FONT=Papyrus]'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 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 they require a Bill of
NON-Rights.'[/FONT][FO

I:[/U]
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.

II:[
B] 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.

III:[/U]
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.

ZE]ARTICLE IV:
Yo
u 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
.

[SIZE=5]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.

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.

FONT=Papyrus]ARTICLE VII:
[/FONT]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.

VIII:[/U] 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.
(AMEN!)

U]ARTICLE
IX:[/U] 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.

ZE][SIZE=5]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!
