Seven Rights for Citizen Slackers: With Notes from the Battles of Good King Boaz

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.
