STANDARD SOCIAL CONTRACT
Between ___________________________ and
THE GOVERNMENT OF CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA
WHEREAS: I wish to reside on the Central North American Continent and;
WHEREAS: The Central North American Government controls the area on which I
wish to reside and;
WHEREAS: Tacit and implied contracts are vague and therefore unenforceable;
THEREFORE, I, THE SIGNER BELOW, agree to the following terms:
SECTION ONE.
I will surrender a percentage of my property to the Government, such
percentage to be determined by the Government and subject to change at any
time at Government discretion. The amount to be surrendered may be based on
my income, my net worth, the value of my purchases, or any other criteria
the Government may choose.
To aid the Government in determining the percentage, I will apply for a
Government Identification Number which I will use in all major transactions.
SECTION TWO.
Upon Government demand, I will surrender my liberty for a period of
time to be determined by the Government, typically no less than two years.
During that time I will serve the Government in any way it chooses,
including military
service in which I may be called upon to sacrifice my life.
SECTION THREE.
I will limit my behavior when and as demanded by the Government,
including but not limited to the following: I will consume only those drugs
permitted by the Government; I will limit my sexual activities to those
permitted by the Government; I will forsake religious beliefs which conflict
with the Government's determination of propriety.
SECTION FOUR.
In consideration of the above, the Government will:
A. Permit me to seek employment, subject to any limits which might
be determined by the Government, such as choice of career or wages I may accept.
B. Permit me to reside in the area of North America which it
controls. C. Permit me to speak freely, subject to limits to be
determined from time to time by the President or his authorized
representatives, the Congress and/or the Supreme Court.
D. Attempt in good faith to protect my life and my claims to any
property it may have allowed me to keep.
[Note: I may not, however, hold the Government liable,
or responsible, or accountable in the event it fails to
successfully protect my safety or my property. The fact
that the Government may deny me the right, or the means,
of self-protection places no responsibility whatsoever
upon the government for any injury or loss I may suffer
as a result.]
SECTION FIVE:
The Government may offer various services to me, the nature and
extent of which shall be determined by Government and subject to change at
any time, and for which I may be charged at whatever rate is determined by
Government.
SECTION SIX:
The Government will determine whether, and when, I may vote for certain
officials, and the relative influence of my vote. The influence of my vote
will normally vary inversely with the total number of voters, and I
understand it typically will be of little or no consequence.
I agree not to hold any elected Government official liable for acting
against my best interest or for failing to uphold oaths or promises, even if
those promises motivated me to vote for them.
SECTION SEVEN:
I agree that the Government may hold me fully liable if I fail to abide
by the above terms in their entirety. In the event of such failure on my
part, the Government may confiscate any property that may remain in my
possission, and may imprison me for a period of time to be determined by the
Government. I also agree that the Government may, at its discretion, alter
the terms of this contract at any time.
