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...



'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 . (This one is my pet

peeve...get an education and go to work....don't expect everyone else to
take

care of you!)





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. (AMEN!)





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?

Subject: God vs Science

This one will keep your attention to the end.......It really makes you
think........

A science professor begins his school year with a lecture to the students,
"Let me explain the problem science has with religion." The atheist
professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new
students to stand.

"You're a Christian, aren't you, son?"

"Yes sir," the student says.

"So you believe in God?"

"Absolutely."

"Is God good?"

"Sure! God's good."

"Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"

"Yes."

"Are you good or evil?"

"The Bible says I'm evil."

The professor grins knowingly. "Aha! The Bible!" He considers for a moment.
"Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can
cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?"

"Yes sir, I would."

"So you're good...!"

"I wouldn't say that."

"But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could.
Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't."

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. "He doesn't, does
he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to
Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?"

The student remains silent.

"No, you can't, can you?" the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a
glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

"Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?"

"Er...yes," the student says.

"Is Satan good?"

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. "No."

"Then where does Satan come from?"

The student falters. "From God"

"That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in
this world?"

"Yes, sir."

"Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?"

"Yes."

"So who created evil?" The professor continued, "If God created everything,
then God created evil, since evil exists, and ac cording to the principle
that our works define who we are, then God is evil."

Again, the student h as no answer.

"Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things,
do they exist in this world?"

The student squirms on his feet. "Yes."

"So who created them?"

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question.

"Who created them?" There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks
away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized.

"Tell me," he continues onto another student. "Do you believe in Jesus
Christ, son?"

The student's voice betrays him and cracks. "Yes, professor, I do."

The old man stops pacing. "Science says you have five senses you use to
identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?"

"No sir. I've never seen Him."

"Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?"

"No, sir, I have not."

"Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your
Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God
for that matter?"

"No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't."

"Yet you still believe in him?"

"Yes."

"According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol,
science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?"

"Nothing," the student replies. "I only have my faith."

"Yes, faith," the professor repeats. "And that is the problem science has
with God. There is no evidence, only faith."

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of His
own. "Professor, is there such thing as heat?"

"Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat."

"And is there such a thing as cold?"

"Yes, son, there's cold too."

"No sir, there isn't."

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room
suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. "You can have
lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white
heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We
can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no
heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as
cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees."

"Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits
energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy.
Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is
only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.
Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy Cold is not the
opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it."

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding
like a hammer.

"What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?"

"Yes," the professor replies without hesitation. "What is night if it isn't
darkness?"

"You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of
something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing
light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called
darkness, isn't it?

That's the meaning we use to define the word. "In reality, darkness isn't.
If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?"

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This w ill be
a good semester. "So what point are you making, young man?"

"Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start
with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed."

The professor's f ace cannot hide his surprise this time. "Flawed? Can you
explain how?"

"You are working on the premise of duality," the student explains. "You
argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God.
You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can
measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought."

"It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully
understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be
ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it."

"Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a
monkey?"

"If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes,
of course I do."

"Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where
the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

"Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot
even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching
your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?"

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has
subsided.

"To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me
give you an example of what I mean."

The student looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class who has
ever seen the professor's brain?" The class breaks out into laughter.

"Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the
professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to
have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable,
demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due
respect, sir."

"So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?"

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face
unreadable.

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. "I guess you'll
have to take them on faith."

"Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,"
the student continues. "Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?"

Now uncertain, the professor responds, "Of course, there is. We see it e
everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in
the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These
manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does
not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like
darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of
God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man
does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes
when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.
