Fox News has shown video of a portly school boy being bullied and
socked by a smaller, but bold kid who danced like a boxer. After
being hit several times, the larger kid, rightly, asserted his right
to self-protection and threw the smaller kid, upside-down, to the
sidewalk. Amazingly, the larger boy got suspended from school because
the "rules" of the school require kids to report violence to a
teacher, rather than taking action themselves. That rule is a clear
violation of every citizen's right to self-protection. Under my New
Constitution, those who made a rule which violated that boy's civil
rights will be spending at least the next three years in prison for
violating the New Constitution all of them would have had to have
sworn to uphold.
In a similar case, Wal-Mart fired two security men for attacking a man
with a gun. The "store policy", supposedly, requires those facing an
armed person to become submissive and not to foment "violence". That
Wal-Mart "rule", also, violates the right to self-defense, and would
subject that company to severe civil penalties for firing those men.
But no one would be going to jail, because businesses don't have to
swear to uphold the New Constitution—though they are bound by the
requirements, therein.
In medical facilities all across the country, "medical protocol"
sometimes runs counter to the Constitutional rights of both patients
and their families. In a personal experience, I observed non-
professional care being administered. When I rightly complained, I
was accused of "making a scene" and was threatened with arrest if I
didn't leave the facility. So, I have included the following in my
New Constitution:
"A Citizen's constitutional rights supersede any medical protocol."
From my experience, the USA—be that governmental or societal—is taking
away civil liberties at an alarming rate. It used to be that
customers were valued by businesses. Just this week, I inadvertently
purchased a box of #10 business envelopes without the blue, security
printing. That same day I returned the box to STAPLES, expecting to
quickly be credited for the purchase amount and allowed to pay the
balance for the secure envelope type. When I got back to the checkout
counter, the "Yankee-seeming" checkout man asked for my sales
receipt. He insisted that he needed such to know "how much" I had
paid for the envelopes. I rushed to the shelf price sticker and
reported the cost was $7.99. He said he would need to see my driver's
license, which I gave him. I was amazed that he copied every single
word on that license as if he was catching a thief. I was still
expecting that jerk to credit my purchase. He again said that he
didn't know how much I had paid. I suggested that he SCAN the barcode
to find out. The idiot-like checkout man did that, then said he would
only give me $4.99. Needless to say, in my entire life, I have never
had any business question my honesty when returning any purchase, much
less such a cheep purchase. It was as though he was accusing me of
stealing the first box, just so I could get that much money taken off
my second purchase. Whether as a threat or not, he said he would have
to call the manager. I was thrilled and said for him to do so. I
explained to the incredulous-looking manager what the problem was. I
told him I had paid for the purchase with my business credit card.
Without much difficulty, the manager found that day's record of
purchases and determined that I had paid $7.99 just like I'd said.
Within another minute, I had paid the balance due. It is important to
note, that at no point did that "manager" or the idiot clerk apologize
for detaining me for approximately ten minutes, and for defaming my
character in a public place for simply being one of their, obviously
not very appreciated customers. I would not recommend STAPLES as a
corporate culture to be emulated. They have only adversarial
relationships with their customers.
Similar experiences of my own and others that have been reported in
the news over the years have resulted in my writing the New
Constitution so STRONG, that no inexcusable behavior by governments or
by businesses will ever again just be just shrugged off. A sign above
a business's door read: "Through this door walk the most important
people in the world—out customers!" Wouldn't it be great if the whole
country felt that way toward others?
