Seven Rights for Citizen Slackers

The book has two primary components. One: Why and how Boaz creates

a universal organizational system based on human rights, inspired by

principles of consciousness found in the Hindu chakras, Egyptian Tarot,

and Declaration of Independence. Two: Colorful confrontations and

anecdotes from the 40 years Boaz takes to complete a book on the seven

rights.

The trauma of a marital breakup leads attorney Dennis Boaz to search for

self-awareness and purpose in Berkeley's New Age subculture of the early

seventies. The search ultimately culminates in Boaz's creation of a

comprehensive body of human rights and an an organizational system,

which Boaz calls, the "Seven Rights Schematic."

Boaz demonstrates how the schematic would add balance and

comprehensiveness to the educational curriculum; how it would restructure

business to favor the worker in salary, multi-career opportunity, fairness,

and ownership; and, how the schematic, after a necessary Article Five

Constitutional Convention, would enable government to be more

democratic, efficient, fair, and balanced in the choice and distribution of its

resources.

Boaz suggests that the seven rights may answer the riddle to what is

sealed behind seven seals of the Book of Revelation. He notes that

because of his name and astrological sign, he fits the biblical symbolic

description of the person who is to "open the book and loose the seven

seals thereof."

In a lively 40 year span, Boaz pursues the "right" way to present his book.

He highlights "battles" between himself and different authorities in San

Francisco, Salt Lake City, Guahan (Guam), and Saipan. Included are

Boaz's misadventurous and sometimes comical attempts to promote an

early seven rights manuscript: a marijuana "smoke-in" protest in San

Francisco's federal building, and a successful plea to the Utah Supreme

Court for his client's (Gary Gilmore) execution-an effort, that Boaz later

admits, was morally wrong. The Gilmore episode also results in some

personal and memorable anecdotes with Boaz and celebrities of the time;

including Norman Mailer, Geraldo Rivera, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, Tommy Lee

Jones, and Rosanna Arquette.
