Another proposal for a Constitutional amendment

[dubhdara]

I would like to propose that the first amendment, to wit:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

be amended to read:

"Congress shall make no law."

I think it would really help out

I second this amendment

[Bono]

I third you!

It's a joke. Lighten up. Besides, the states could still make laws.

How about the following amendment.

Amendment XXVIII
(1) The first through twenty-seventh amendment are hereby repealed.
(2) Articles I through VII are hereby repealed.
(3) Bush can do what he bloody well likes.

Or how about this: The Bill of No Rights...

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!


How about this:

"Congress shall make no law. Instead, Congress shall allow 'crime periods' in length of 4 or 5 days in which everyone fights to the death and those who remain after these crime periods shall create new government until the next crime period"

Sounds great!

I notice an ancapish tone on your posts.

Is that an Americanism? Does it mean anti-capitalist?

Actually, it means anarcho-capitalism.

Anarchic or anarchy in my country has a negative connotation - simply meaning chaos, total lack of government.

Although I believe the market should be free, I do believe government should exist to make sure of certain very basic things such as protecting life and property.

My basic view (very basic!) is summed up in the "Creed of Freedom" which can be found at http://www.freedomforceinternational.org

I hate it when people call Libertarians anarchists.

Closed minded b@stards.

Rothbard was a libertarian and an anarchist. So is David Friedman.

I think he means in general. No doubt a few libertarians are really anarchists, but most aren't.

I would categorize a good portion of the Republican party as being economic anarchists.

I was very impressed with the Texas 2000 Constitution (1997/8 Convention):

As far as my ideal for a constitution of the u.s. is concerned I must go with:

Both of the above, in my opinion, contain the true spirit of liberty and the "pursuit of happiness".
