Just some food for thought.....Read Article V.......
 
 
Bill of No Rights
 
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. . .. 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 by telling them they didn't warn you not to stick the
screwdriver in your eye.
 
  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 should be wary of public health
care or public anything.
 

  ART TICLE 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 (yes, capital
punishment).
 

  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."
