The Seventy Commandments

The Seventy Commandments

For centuries millions of christians have wondered why there is a tradition of only Ten Commandments. Why only ten! If you're going to have a myth, why not have a bigger myth?Why not more commandments... like, at least... seventy? And so, finally they have been revealed and here they are! For some mysterious mystery they were revealed unto me, Art Earthmann, in reverse order, and so I will herewith proceed to share them with humanity in that same order. Considering the fact that there are more than 6 billion humans on this planet, I really feel honored that I was chosen to be the one to receive this profound revelation.

70. Thou shalt not grape. (Add date-rape drugs to grape juice or sacramental wine, etc.)

69. Thou shalt not rape.

68. Thou shalt not rap. (Rap music glorifying, mocking, encouraging rape.)

67. Thou shalt not rope Pope dope. (Get oneself and/or the victim high on sex drugs like dope or viagra, tie the victim up with rope as if in a Pope Urban II ordered inquisition.)

66. Thou shalt not grope.

65. Thou shalt not ape. (Act uncivilized and ape-like.)

64. Thou shalt war against the Satanic Sharia Islamo-fascist Rape Law in the middle east which states that a female victim of rape must have at least 4 witnesses affirming that she was raped or she will be charged with solicitation of said sex act and the rapists will be exonerated and not charged with the crime of said rape. Those four or more rape witnesses must come forth and testify in court that they personally saw said rape occur. If only three or less witnesses come forth and testify, the accused will go free, and the female victim will be imprisoned for filing a false and unfounded charge against them and she will also be charged with lewd and unseemly conduct.

63. Thou shalt war against the Satanic Sharia Islamo-fascist procedure of "female genital mutilation" pervasive in the middle east and far east of planet Earth.

62. Thou shalt not molest.

61. Thou shalt not kidnap.

60. Thou shalt not enslave.

59. Thou shalt not torture.

58. Thou shalt not shock. (Either as a means of torture, or as the supposedly innocently medically prescribed therapeudic electro-convulsive shock treatments.)

57. Thou shalt not threaten.

56. Thou shalt not yell "fire", etc., in a crowded nightclub, soccer match, or Mecca Ramadan gig.

55. Thou shalt not interrupt... unnecessarily. (Listen up, Shawn Hannitea and Flush Limboff.)

54. Thou shalt not temporarily or permanently lose your soul to bad liquids, bad drugs, or bad pollution.

53. Thou shalt not slap your perceived adversary on their cheek just because you think he will strike you on your cheek... momentarily.

52. Thou shalt not preemptively invade and war against a country because you think it will invade or war against you... too soon.

51. Thou shalt not worship the greedy acquisition of money, wealth, hedge funds, derivatives, or extreme leverage buyouts, etc..

50. Thou shalt limit the salary of all CEOs to be no more than 100 times the salary of the least paid full-time employee. (George Orwell was correct in the 1950s. Currently, some CEOs are paying themselves more than 100,000 times the yearly salary of their lowest paid minimum-wage full-time worker or janitor, etc. Get your pitchforks ready!)

49. Thou shalt roll back the Reagan/Bush tax cuts immediately, and not wait until the expiration date in the year 2010.

48. Thou shalt raise the top tax rate of the super rich, millionaires and billionaires back up to 90% again and with a yearly income margin of $3 million. (This amount of margin and % was what they were during the best of times from 1934 to 1980. This period is known as the golden age for the middle class here in America. Regarding margin: if one earned less that $3 million in a year, he would be taxed the usual rate. Any amount earned over $3 million would be taxed at 90%. After the USA balances its books, has acquired a reasonable emergency fund, and wins its wars, then the margin can be raised to no higher than $12 million, i.e. a million dollars a month. The top tax rate will be kept at 90%. FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, and even Nixon loved this 90% top tax bracket rate and so do WeThePeople!)

47. Thou shalt not count Negroes, or any other ethnic group, as 3/5 of a person, or any other fraction thereof, like it was done in the USA for so many decades. (Can you believe that our Supreme Court supported this in 1869! How embarrassing!)

46. Thou shalt enable all legal aged citizens of all races and genders the right to vote with a democratic format. (Women only obtained the right to vote in 1920 via the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution. How embarrassing late! Our Constitution should have been even more inspired and sensitive.)

45. Thou shalt rescind the legal blunder enabling corporations to be regarded as "persons". with the same access to the Bill of Rights. (This was caused by the Clerk of the Supreme Court casually writing said idea on the header of his notepad in the Santa Clara County v. Union Pacific Railroad Case in the USA in 1886. The court never issued said opinion, but the informal comment was subsequently used as precedent and the fraudulent dominos have been falling like an corporate avalanche ever since.)

44. Thou shalt only permit electronic vote counting machines that provide a receipt/paper trail to be used in all elections, local, state and national. If said machines are not provided in a convenient and timely manner, all of the votes shalt be counted by hand with an adequate number of honest witnesses. All of the votes shalt be permanently saved in a lock-box for further recounting in case a legal challenge is brought forth. After the statute of limitations has expired for said election, then the votes may be removed from their lock-box and the paper shredded and recycled for more vote counting paper trails.

43. Thou shalt restore the original 10 mile by 10 mile design of the District of Columbia to that of the original 100 square mile square diamond. (The southern 31% of said district was lost and is now part of the state of Virginia. Currently it even includes the main US military Arlington National Cemetary across the Potomic River. It was bitten off like a bite out of a cookie by the south even after it lost the Civil War! This is unbelievable! What % in Congress have been wimps since Appomaddox?)

42. Thou shalt switch the image of the presidents on the following USA money: put President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the twenty dollar bill, and put President Andrew Jackson on the dime. (These tough economic and warring times necessitate bringing more honor and nationalism into better focus when similar circumstances prevail.)

41. Thou shalt erect a monument to FDR in Washington DC that rivals the monuments to Presidents Lincoln, Washington, and Jefferson in grandeur, size and eloquence. (Since FDR had polio and used a wheelchair, the following design would be pragmatic: a spiral inclined smooth counter-clockwise ramp of 5 degrees for persons in wheel-chairs. The base is to be the size of 1-4 city blocks and in a circular fashion spirals up vertically 4-8 stories high. On the top would be a horizontal circular viewing deck 10% the diameter of the base so that We The People, including those in wheel-chairs, can more readily appreciate the patriotic monumental sites near the DC mall. In the center of the top public-viewing-platform would be a circular column 10 feet in diameter and 20 feet high. On top on this would be a bronze statue of FDR 8 feet tall of him standing and holding on to a podium with a six microphones, and with his wheelchair just behind him! Etched on this column would be a list of his most notable social contributions and the year enacted: Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, Minimum Wage, 40 hour work week, 8 hour work day, Labor Unions, Anti trust laws, success in driving back the Nazis and Japs, et al.)

40. Thou shalt have the first Tuesday in November of even numbered years become a national voting holiday called "Democracy Day" in the USA. Eventually, this day should be shifted to either the first Tuesday in October, or the first Tuesday in June, depending on which would enable more citizens to conveniently vote. Weather, school attendance, and worker vacations should be considered and put to a national vote so that We The People can decide what would be best for better democratic participation.

39. Universal Single-Pay Medicare is a "Health Right" and should become federal policy and also become an Amendment to the US Constitution to make it more difficult for a future president or party to undo.

38. All health insurance for-profit shall be abolished like it has been in all of the other large industrialized nations of Earth.

37. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 shalt be reinstated thereby providing better controls of the monopolies of the corporate industrial complex of greedy self-defeating capitalism.

36. The Glass/Steagall Act of 1933 shalt be restored. (This Act established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and provided oversight to control and prevent the reckless investment abuses of Wall Street and the nations banks. Back then as even in today's financial crisis, millionaire bosses have been able to become billionaires... while the middle class has been becoming paupers and serfs. This Act was undone by President Clinton's signature of the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. This Act restored the lack of governmental oversight and controls which dramatically helped cause the avalanche of our current financial debachle.)

35. The Wall Street gambling games of "hedge your bets and bet for and/or against a bank" hedge funds, derivatives, and obscene leveraged buyouts, etc., shalt be abolished. (The European Union in currently proceeding to do this right now in 2009!)

34. A permanent space station shalt be erected on the top edge of our Moon, equipped with a Hubble quality telescope.

33. Our moon shalt be named "The Moon Democracy". (Of all of the more than 140 moons in our solar system, ours is the only one yet to be named!)

32. Our Moon "Democracy" shalt become an official Territory of the USA.

31. The Democratic Party in the USA shalt acquire the nickname of the "Great Open Democracy", (G.O.D.), (GOD). This will undoubtedly cause a drop in atheism! [This is in response to the nickname of the republican party, the "Grand Old Party", (G.O.P), (GOP).

30. The mascot of the Democratic Party shalt be changed from that of a donkey to that of either a horse (racing stallion), a dog (sheepdog, watchdog), or a _____________. A nation-wide vote will be held to let We The People decide!

29. The Assaults Weapon Ban of 1994 outlawing the possession, purchase, and/or selling of semi-automatic or automatic assault rifles, and machine guns/rifles, shalt be permanently reinstated. (The previous bill doing such expired in 2004. Duck and deer etc. hunting rifles and shotguns, etc., shalt continue to be permitted and even encouraged. An armed populace will help cut down on crime in bad neighborhoods .)

28. The Nuclear Atmospheric and Underground Test Ban Treaty shalt be strengthened.

27. The Strategic Tactical Arms Reduction Talks, (S.T.A.R.T.), shalt be strengthened.

26. The verifiable destruction of at least half of the warheads for atomic and hydrogen bombs shalt be implemented, forthwith. (The following incremental step would be to negotiate the reduction of yet another 50%, and so forth. Presently, the USA and Russia are scheduled to settle on 2,200 warheads in 2010. It would only take around 22 to destroy the planet Earth for human habitability. Therefore, a reasonable long-term goal would be a 90% reduction. The total elimination of all nuclear warheads is totally unrealistic and dangerous and would threaten the security of the United States, its allies, and the well-being of the entire planet because some nations would undoubtedly lie about their having destroyed all of their warheads, even with supposed verification.)

25. Iran shalt not be permitted to build a nuclear bomb. (A preemptive military strike by the USA and/or Israel to prevent this shalt be on the table but probably not implemented.)

24. The obscene pentagon budget of $550 billion for the year 2010 shalt be reduced by 20%, not just the 10% as President Obama suggests. This would provide funds for free education and textbooks from K-12, through to a Ph.D degree at any public or private school, college or university in the nation. (This is already provided by many governments in European countries and it works very well. This will also provide funds for many other pragmatic social programs for We The People like Headstart and reducing world hunger and starvation.)

23. A program of obligatory, compulsory National Service, a military draft, shalt be implemented. (This is what Thomas Jefferson wanted. This is what the countries of Switzerland and Israel already have. All males from ages 18 to 65 must participate. In Switzerland, after a few summers of military weapons training, every male is required to spend one weekend a month at a camp for rifle and weapons rehearsal. They are also required to have a working rifle in their home, with ammunition in a separate room so children will be safer. The Swiss were so well prepared during WW2 that Hitler decided that it would be too formidable a challenge to invade and conquer them, and so he just invaded all the other countries in Europe instead. In the future, if one is a conscientious objector, or a female, they can go through the training, but can provide service in the non-military Peace Corp, or some other service instead. This would also really help cut down on crime in bad neighborhoods. We don't want our country to evolve into another Mexico with all of its current drug/gang/mafia/police/neighborhood killings.)

22. Thou shalt legalize/decriminalize the use of medical marijuana nation-wide in the USA. (This has already happened in numerous countries on Earth. To obtain a list of police chiefs and law enforcement officers that agree with this idea... just Google said key words.)

21. The poppy/opium/heroin fields of Afghanistan shalt be destroyed forthwith. (This is the source of over 90% of the world's illegal source of these drugs. They also provide billions of dollars to fund the terrorist activities of Al Queda and the Taliban, et al.)

20. All drugs should be legalized/decriminalized. (The war on drugs is and always will be a pathetic failure. Drug use should be regarded a mental/physical health issue, not a criminal issue. This would help put a lot of the drug mafia out of business and significantly reduce gang drug wars because the profit motive would be largely eliminated. Of course the big corporations that are in the privatization of prison construction business are against this because it would slow down the Wallmartic billions of dollars being made by keeping the jails full resulting in the building of more prisons even faster and faster. This cycle of inhumane greed must be abolished in this, the greatest nation on God's green Earth. We The People demand it. Just Google police chiefs on this also. Many of them support this very controversial point also.)

19. Illegal immigration should center on the primary cause, i.e. the illegal hiring by employers. The illegal immigrant employees should stand as witnesses against their corrupt bosses before they are deported back to Mexico, or where ever.

18. The Import Tariff laws of the US shalt be restructured so that they are on a par with our main competitors: China, Japan, and South Korea. (Why should the US be charged a 20% tariff if we export a car to China for sale there, but if China wants to export a car from China to be sold here... China is only charged a tariff of 2%. No wonder our trade deficit is billions of dollars out of whack. An inept Forrest Gumpic trade policy has endured for far too many decades. President Hamilton had it right. No free trade, only fair trade. This is the single most important reason that the US has lost so many manufacturing jobs overseas. Currently 41% of the US Gross Domestic Product is composed of financial services, not even physical products!)

17. NAFTA, CAFTA, and the WTO should all be renegotiated so that their child-labor and import/export laws, et al, are acceptable to WeThePeople and not just a bunch of superrich corporate billionaire bosses and CEOs.)

16. Thou shalt not swear by using profane vulgar language.

15. Thou shalt not dress immodestly in public.

14. Thou shalt not masterbate... too much.

13. Thou shalt not substitute sex education with pornography and viagra, etc.

12. Thou shalt live by the Sermon on the Mount, given by Jesus Christ, and live a life full of charity for the poor and the oppressed. (Government welfare and food stamp programs should be respected and supported.

11. Thou shalt be prayerfully engaged in good works, searching after those things that are productive, praiseworthy, healthy and of good report.

10. to 1. See the original 10 Commandments revealed unto the prophet Moses in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.
