Welcome To The Lawless Society. Issue #16.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Welcome to Issue 16. The following file is a slightly modifed version of
|
||
the bill of rights. It's written by John Perry Barlow, Co-Founder of The
|
||
Electronic Frontier Foundation. It's a bit amusing but quite a bit of it
|
||
rings true. Enjoy...

Bill O' Rights Light
|
||
By
|
||
John Perry Barlow
|
||
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
||
|
||
|
||
During the past two decades, the first ten ammendments to the Constitution
|
||
have been quietly revised by the state and federal judiciary, sparing us the
|
||
untidy political melee of a constitutional convention. The new Bill of
|
||
Rights, based on current case law, might look something like this:
|
||
|
||
Ammendment I
|
||
|
||
Congress shall encourage the practice of Judeo-Christian religion by its
|
||
own public exercise therof, and shall make no laws abridging the freedom of
|
||
responsible (unless such speech is in a digital form or contains material that
|
||
is copyrighted, classified, proprietary or offensive to non-Europeans,
|
||
non-males, differently abled or alternativle preferenced persons), or the
|
||
right of the people peaceably to assemble (unless such assembly takes place on
|
||
corporate or millitary property or within an electronic environment), or to
|
||
petition the government for redress of grievances (unless such grievances
|
||
relate to national security).
|
||
|
||
Ammendment II
|
||
|
||
A well-regulated militia having become irrelevant to the security of a
|
||
free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms against another
|
||
shall remain uninfringed (excepting such arms as may be afforded by the poor
|
||
or those preferred by pushers, terrorists and organized criminals, which shall
|
||
be banned).
|
||
|
||
Ammendment III
|
||
|
||
No soldier shall, in any time of peace, be quartered in any house without
|
||
the owner's consent, unless that house is thought to have been used for the
|
||
distribution of illegal substances.
|
||
|
||
Ammendment IV
|
||
|
||
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and
|
||
effects against unreasonable searches and seizures may be suspended to protect
|
||
public welfare. Upon the unsupported suspicion of law enforcement officials,
|
||
any place or conveyance shall be subject to immediate search, and any such
|
||
places or conveyances, or property within them, may be permanently confiscated
|
||
without further judicial proceeding.
|
||
|
||
Ammendment V
|
||
|
||
Any person may be held to answer to a capital or otherwise infamous crime
|
||
involving illicit substances, terrorism or upon any suspicion whatever, and
|
||
may be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or
|
||
limb (once by the state courts and again by the federal judiciary), and may be
|
||
compelled by various means (including the forced submission of breath samples,
|
||
bodily fluids or encryption keys) to be a witness against himself, refusal to
|
||
do so constituting an admission of guilt, and may be deprived of life, liberty
|
||
or property without further legal delay, and any private property thereby
|
||
forfeited shall be dedicated to the discretionary use of law enforcement
|
||
agents without just compensation.
|
||
|
||
Ammendment VI
|
||
|
||
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to speedy
|
||
and private plea-bargaining before entering a plea of guilty. The accused is
|
||
entitled to the assistance of underpaid and indifferent counsel to negotiate
|
||
his sentence, except where such sentence falls under mandatory sentencing
|
||
requirements.
|
||
|
||
Ammendment VII
|
||
|
||
In suits at common law, where the contesting parties have nearly unlimited
|
||
resources to spend on legal fees, the right of a trial by jury shall be
|
||
preserved.
|
||
|
||
Ammendment VIII
|
||
|
||
Sufficient bail may be required to ensure that dangerous criminals will
|
||
remain in custody, where cruel and unusual punishments are usually inflicted.
|
||
|
||
Ammendment IX
|
||
|
||
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be
|
||
construed to deny or desparage others that may be retained by the government
|
||
or to preserve public order, family values or national security.
|
||
|
||
Ammendment X
|
||
|
||
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are
|
||
reserved to the departments of justice and treasury, except when the states
|
||
are willing to forsake federal financing.
|
||
|
||

|
||
And there ya have it. I rather like it myself.
|
||

|
||
