(21) The Right to free, or "fair" priced, "surplus" food and water from State and National Government Agencies, in the event of emergencies. The Responsibility of this Right is that We do not abuse this benign provision of Our Governance. Abuse would include benefiting from this Constitutional Provision and then profiting from it. (receiving the "emergency" assistance and then selling it) Abuse like this should be a Treasonable Offense.

(22) Birth Control: The Collective Cultural Right to, gently and positively, set limits and ways of limitation to population "excess" that brings "harm" to the Nation. A Standard for this should be developed. The Responsibility of this Right is that We obtain reliable working knowledge of the relationship between Our Civilization's Maintenance Skills, Our Renewable and Non-Renewable Natural Resources and Our Population Levels. Then We apply such knowledge to a "Population Standard Of Decency" and endeavor to, benignly as possible, achieve and then maintain Our Population in accordance with this New Standard. We already recognize, because of what We are beginning to experience now, that a "Sustained Steady State Civilization" is preferable to a "Civilization Predicated on Constant and Unlimited Growth."
