SOCIAL CONTRACT
between an individual and the United States
WHEREAS I wish to reside on the North American continent, and
WHEREAS the United States controls the area of the continent on which I wish
to reside, and WHEREAS tacit or implied contracts are vague and therefore
unenforceable,
I agree to the following terms:
SECTION 1: I will surrender a percentage of my property to the United
States. The actual percentage will be determined by the United States and
will be subject to change at any time. The amount to be surrendered may be
based on my income, the value of my property, the value of my purchases, or
any other criteria the United States chooses. To aid the United States in
determining the percentage, I will apply for a United States identification
number that I will use in all my major financial transactions.
SECTION 2: Should the United States demand it, I will surrender my
liberty for a period of time determined by the United States and typically
no shorter than two years. During that time, I will serve the United States
in any way it chooses, including military service in which I may be called
upon to sacrifice my life.
SECTION 3: I will limit my behavior as demanded by the United States.
I will consume only those drugs permitted by the United
States. I will limit my sexual activities to those permitted by the United
States. I will forsake religious beliefs that conflict with the United
States' determination of propriety. More limits may be imposed at any time.
SECTION 4: In consideration for the above, the United States will permit me
to find employment, subject to limits that will be determined by the United
States. These limits may restrict my choice of career or the wages I may
accept.
SECTION 5: The United States will permit me to reside in the area of North
America which it controls. Also, the United States will permit me to speak
freely, subject to limits determined by the United States' Congress and
Supreme Court.
SECTION 6: The United States will attempt to protect my life and my claim to
the property it has allowed me to keep. I agree not to hold the United
States liable if it fails to protect me or my property.
SECTION 7: The United States will offer various services to me. The nature
and extent of these services will be determined by the United States and are
subject to change by the United States at any time.
SECTION 8: The United States will determine whether I may vote for
certain United States officials. The influence of my vote will vary
inversely with the number of voters, and I understand that it typically will
be minuscule. I agree not to hold any elected United States officials liable
for acting against my best interests or for breaking promises, even if those
promises motivated me to vote for them.
SECTION 9: I agree that the United States may hold me fully liable if I fail
to abide by the above terms. In that event, the United States may confiscate
any property that I have not previously surrendered to it, and may imprison
me for a period of time to be determined by the United States. I also agree
that the United States may alter the terms of this contract at any time.
