Three Laws Every American Politician Must Follow

“There is nothing so eternally adhesive as the memory of power.” ― Isaac Asimov, I, Robot

American science fiction writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University Isaac Asimov in his 1950 book “I, Robot” formulated three laws governing a robots’ behavior. Asimov’s idea was to protect mankind from a robot’s superior ability to do harm. Asimov wrote,

“Because, if you stop to think of it, the three Rules of Robotics are the essential guiding principles of a good many of the world’s ethical systems.”

Today we have a new form of robot called a politician. It seems today that many of our American politicians have abandoned some or even all commonly held essential “ethical principles.”

These American politicians follow, like robots, their party lines. At times these politicians seem more interested in money, power and control rather than protecting the interests of those who elected them. They are programed to obey their political party’s policies, slogans, lies and myths. They don’t think of their constituents and only think about how they can keep themselves in office, for ever!

Today politicians seem to want to fundamentally transform Americans rather than serve as good stewards in service to the American people.

We have decided, using Asimov’s model of Laws for Robots, to create our own Laws for Politicians.

Three Laws for American Politicians

Here are our Three Laws:

First Law

A politician may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Second Law

A politician must obey the orders given it by human beings who elected them except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

Third Law

A politician must protect his/her own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

These three laws can and must be put into place immediately to keep politicians from further harming we the people.

Today, politicians have allowed harm to come to human beings in many ways. Among them are:

1. Endless Wars, which by their very nature violate the First Law.
2. Government Tyranny, which by definition violates the First Law.
3. Political Gain, e.g. eliminate the opposition, violates the First Law.
4. Government mandates, edicts and laws that violate the First Law.
5. Policies that are the antitheses of the rights contained in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and therefore by definition violate the First Law.

The Bottom Line

Isaac Asimov write,

“It is always useful, you see, to subject the past life of reform politicians to rather inquisitive research.”

We have, using “inquisitive research,” created these Three Laws for American Politicians.

If not us then who? If not now then when?

Politicians demand we obey their laws, but exclude themselves from obeying their own laws. Examples abound of politicians imposing laws that they exempt themselves from. Laws including: Obamacare, to insider trading, to vaccine mandates, to travel mandates, to mask mandates, slavery in the form of human trafficking, incarceration of those who disagree with the politician’s will, to the murder of tens of thousands in the name of public safety.

Time for some simple laws for politicians that even they can understand.
