VICE-PRESIDENT VICKI’S GUIDELINES · FOR THE
MAWRITES
The joke called EvolutionThe sacred truths of the Mawrites
Chapter 20
mYou may have noticed that I’ve mentioned your rights a few times,
2And I advise you never to forget them,
3Although it’s also important never to define them too precisely either,
4Because the only things that should ever be certain about rights are that you have them,
5They are inalienable,
6And they consist of your desires,
7Whatever they are.
8If people ask for the reasons why you should have this or that right, provide them freely,
9And don’t forget that there are no contradictions.
10For example, if it is your desire to have an abortion,
11It is your right,
12Because it is your desire,
13nAnd you are free to justify your right by pointing at all the poor little babies who have to grow up in broken homes, on hardly any money at all, with practically no chance to have a decent life.
14If, on the other hand, you suddenly realize that it is your desire to have a baby,
15Even though you’re not married and don’t have a boyfriend and can’t abide the thought of living with one of them,
16It is still your right to have a baby by artificial insemination and bring her up alone,
17Because it is your desire,
18oAnd you are free to justify your right by pointing at all the perfectly happy children who grow up in broken homes, on hardly any money at all, and without knowing who their fathers are, either.
19Because truly there are no contradictions for the person who follows the Way of Harry,
20aAnd rights always belong to those who demand them with the most certainty.
