" One day in 1993, after hearing a Hillary Clinton speech on the radio, Napper had had enough. He skipped his lunch break at a computer consulting job, and sat down at his keyboard to bang out a response. In less than an hour, he had written the "Bill of No Rights," which became "the e-mail heard 'round the world." Napper, 41, now the Libertarian Party candidate for U.S. Senate in Mississippi, didn't expect his essay -- a tart 10-point list of "rights" Americans don't have -- to become an Internet legend. In fact, he said, he first sent the essay, which has now been "read by millions," to just a few friends. "I'll have to admit that it was really just a way for me to blow off steam and try to make a few friends laugh," said the Jackson-area computer programmer. But the manifesto did more than make people laugh. It struck a chord. Says Napper's preamble: "A whole lot of people were confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of No Rights."...............
