Seven Rights for Citizen Slackers

The book has two primary components. One: Why and how Boaz createsa universal organizational system based on human rights, inspired byprinciples of consciousness found in the Hindu chakras, Egyptian Tarot,and Declaration of Independence. Two: Colorful confrontations andanecdotes from the 40 years Boaz takes to complete a book on the sevenrights.The trauma of a marital breakup leads attorney Dennis Boaz to search forself-awareness and purpose in Berkeley s New Age subculture of the earlyseventies. The search ultimately culminates in Boaz s creation of acomprehensive body of human rights and an an organizational system,which Boaz calls, the Seven Rights Schematic. Boaz demonstrates how the schematic would add balance andcomprehensiveness to the educational curriculum; how it would restructurebusiness to favor the worker in salary, multi-career opportunity, fairness,and ownership; and, how the schematic, after a necessary Article FiveConstitutional Convention, would enable government to be moredemocratic, efficient, fair, and balanced in the choice and distribution of itsresources.Boaz suggests that the seven rights may answer the riddle to what issealed behind seven seals of the Book of Revelation. He notes thatbecause of his name and astrological sign, he fits the biblical symbolicdescription of the person who is to open the book and loose the sevenseals 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 SanFrancisco, Salt Lake City, Guahan (Guam), and Saipan. Included areBoaz s misadventurous and sometimes comical attempts to promote anearly seven rights manuscript: a marijuana smoke-in protest in SanFrancisco s federal building, and a successful plea to the Utah SupremeCourt for his client s (Gary Gilmore) execution an effort, that Boaz lateradmits, was morally wrong. The Gilmore episode also results in somepersonal and memorable anecdotes with Boaz and celebrities of the time;including Norman Mailer, Geraldo Rivera, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, Tommy LeeJones, and Rosanna Arquette.
