        is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The following
        has been attributed to
        Mr. Lewis Napper of
        
        
        Mississippi
        
        .
        
        This guy should run for President one day...
 "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."
 
 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!
 
 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!!!!
 
 If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you
        don't have to,
 and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think
        it's about time common
        sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the 
        
        United
        States
        speak
        out because if you do not, who will?
