What does this have to do with Khukuris? Think about it.
The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from
GA. 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
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 as
such:
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!
(lastly....)
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?

Noah's New Ark
The Lord came to Noah, in Oregon, in the year 2005. The earth was wicked and all were looking for free lunch, more government handouts. The Lord instructed Noah to build another ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good varieties of humans. "Here's the blueprint," said the Lord. "Hurry ... in six months I start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."
Six months later the rain started. The Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his flooded yard ... and no ark.
"Noah!" roared the Lord.... "Where is my ark!?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah. "Things have changed here with the expanded role of bureaucrats and the socialists regulatory welfare state. I needed a building permits and engineers to sign off on every step of the designs and redesigns, and it had to be certified by Department of Transportation, Planning Boards and Environmental permitters and lots of inspections for every stage. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. Then several of my neighbors claimed that I have violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and the height limitation for the area is being exceeded. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision and then the Corps of Engineers. Then the Department of Transportation and Hydro wanted a bond posted for the future costs of moving power, trolley, and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I argued the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of this as it did not show up in the approved environmental global warming scenario at laid out by the United Nations as set up in Rio and later in the Kyoto Treaty.
"Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. The saw mills have all been closed. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls and other animals but they were not interested except in their own list of endangered species. It was a no go!
I was in the process of gathering the animals, but then I got sued by an animal rights group. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodation was too restrictive and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in so confined a space.
"The county decided that I could not build the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew and then a problem showed up on discrimination charges threatened and we would need interpreters for all groups brought aboard. Proper medical requirements and considerations would have to be dealt with and active testing for molds addressed. The trades union wants me to hire only Union tradespeople with Ark Building experience. They showed me a law that requires that I use only certified Ark builders with proper designated state licensing. To make matters worse, the Internal Revenue Service seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally as well as with endangered species. The FBI also conducted an investigation and detailed search of the area as what we were doing fit with a potential Terrorist plot that had been reported in Iraq near the original biblical sites. While the feds and state also brought charges that adequate facilities were no provided for the handicapped and legal action was initiated by the ACLU for using the name God with the display of the ten commandments having been reported to them, and a Gay rights groups complained that pairs of gays and lesbians must be included. Women's rights groups brought suit in federal court that the whole concept of the Ark discriminated against equality for women.
So forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least ten years to finish this Ark."
Suddenly the skies cleared and the sun began to shine and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder. "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?" he asked.
"No," said the Lord. "The Government beat me to it."
