EVOLUTION OF "DEMOCRACY"
When in the course of organic evolution it becomes obvious that a
mutational process is inevitably dissolving the physical and neurological bonds which
connect the members of one generation to the past and inevitably directing them to assume
among the species of Earth the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and
Nature's God entitle them, a decent concern for the harmony of species requires that the
causes of the mutation should be declared.
We hold these truths to be self evident:
That all species are created different but equal;
That they are endowed, each one, with certain inalienable rights;
That among them are Freedom to Live, Freedom to Grow, and Freedom
to pursue Happiness in their own style;
That to protect these God-given rights, social structures
naturally emerge, basing their authority on the principles of love of God and respect for
all forms of life;
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of life,
liberty, and harmony, it is the organic duty of the young members of that species to
mutate, to drop out, to initiate a new social structure, laying its foundations on such
principles and organizing its power in such form as seems likely to produce the safety,
happiness, and harmony of all sentient beings.
The history of the white, menopausal, mendacious men now ruling
the planet earth is a history of repeated violation of the harmonious laws of nature, all
having the direct object of establishing a tyranny of the materialistic aging over the
gentle, the peace-loving, the young, the colored. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to
the judgement of generations to come.
These old, white rulers have maintained a continuous war against
other species of life, enslaving and destroying at whim fowl, fish, animals and spreading
a lethal carpet of concrete and metal over the soft body of earth.
They have maintained as well a continual state of war among
themselves and against the colored races, the freedom-loving, the gentle, the young.
Genocide is their habit.
They have instituted artificial scarcities, denying peaceful folk
the natural inheritance of earth's abundance and God's endowment.
They have glorified material values and degraded the spiritual.
They have claimed private, personal ownership of God's land,
driving by force of arms the gentle from passage on the earth.
In their greed they have erected artificial immigration and
customs barriers, preventing the free movement of people.
In their lust for control they have set up systems of compulsory
education to coerce the minds of the children and to destroy the wisdom and innocence of
the playful young.
In their lust for power they have controlled all means of
communication to prevent the free flow of ideas and to block loving exchanges among the
gentle.
In their fear they have instituted great armies of secret police
to spy upon the privacy of the pacific.
In their anger they have coerced the peaceful young against their
will to join their armies and to wage murderous wars against the young and gentle of other
countries.
In their greed they have made the manufacture and selling of
weapons the basis of their economies.
For profit they have polluted the air, the rivers, the seas.
In their impotence they have glorified murder, violence, and
unnatural sex in their mass media.
In their aging greed they have set up an economic system which
favors age over youth.
They have in every way attempted to impose a robot uniformity and
to crush variety, individuality, and independence of thought.
In their greed, they have instituted political systems which
perpetuate rule by the aging and force youth to choose between plastic conformity or
despairing alienation.
They have invaded privacy by illegal search, unwarranted arrest,
and contemptuous harassment.
They have enlisted an army of informers.
In their greed they sponsor the consumption of deadly tars and
sugars and employ cruel and unusual punishment of the possession of life-giving alkaloids
and acids.
They never admit a mistake. They unceasingly trumpet the virtue
of greed and war. In their advertising and in their manipulation of information they make
a fetish out of blatant falsity and pious self-enhancement. Their obvious errors only
stimulate them to greater error and noisier self-approval.
They are bores.
They hate beauty.
They hate sex.
They hate life.
We have warned them from time to time to their inequities and blindness. We have
addressed every available appeal to their withered sense of righteousness. We have tried
to make them laugh. We have prophesied in detail the terror they are perpetuating. But
they have been deaf to the weeping of the poor, the anguish of the colored, the rocking
mockery of the young, the warnings of their poets. Worshipping only force and money, they
listen only to force and money. But we shall no longer talk in these grim tongues.
We must therefore acquiesce to genetic necessity, detach ourselves from their uncaring
madness and hold them henceforth as we hold the rest of God's creatures - in harmony, life
brothers, in their excess, menaces to life.
We, therefore, God-loving, peace-loving, life-loving, fun-loving men and women, in the
name and by the Authority of all sentient beings who seek gently to evolve on this planet,
solemnly publish and declare that we are free and independent, and
that we are absolved from all Allegiance to the United States Government and all
governments controlled by the menopausal.
