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.
