Charters of Freedom

[edit]

In three small paragraphs, Thomas Jefferson outlined the tenets of Natural Rights, the Social Contract, and the Right of Revolution. I have, as a matter of course, edited the parts that I don't agree with: a deity as the source of human rights and the man-centric wording. Unfortunately "everybody" doesn't have the same ring as "all Men". Despite these "errors", it's amazing how much they got right way back then. After these paragraphs, the writer whines about all the perceived injustices shoveled upon the colonies by King George, but I digress.


Two quick quotes from the Constitution. We tend to take these for granted, but more recently they come under threat of violation.


This is the big five: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and right to petition. It took the Congress two years to whip up the Bill of Rights.


The Second Amendment affirms the people's right to defend themselves and to enforce the right of revolution (see above).


The Fourth Amendment affirms another cornerstone of individual liberty, privacy and security.


I have done a bit of editing here to make it less U.S.-specific, but the basic ideas are still here.


I have combined the 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th amendments. These charters delineate voting rights.


"Killer Queen"

[edit]

She keeps her Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet.
"Let them eat cake" she says,
Just like Marie Antoinette.
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy.
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline.

Caviar and cigarettes,
Well-versed in etiquette,
Extraordinarily nice,

She's a Killer Queen,
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam,
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime!

Ooh! Recommended at the price,
Insatiable an appetite,
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address.
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness.
Met a man from China, Went down to Geisha Minah,
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined.

Her perfume came naturally from Paris.
For cars she couldn't care less.
Fastidious and precise,

She's a Killer Queen,
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam,
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime!

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat.
Then momentarily out of action,
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild!
She's all out to get you,

She's a Killer Queen,
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam,
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime!

Ooh! Recommended at the price,
Insatiable an appetite,
Wanna try? You wanna try...

Freddie Mercury
