X the Unknown is an awesome sci fi movie. I recommend you watch it and get to know me better.

The constitution is a mere document- it doesn't do anything by itself. I merely represents whatever people say it represents. The people who wrote it clearly had quite different ideas then people today have.

It has been called a "living" document- which is just a silly way of saying it means whatever you can convince enough people to believe it means. And that's the way it always was. Don't kid yourself. It wasn't so great to be an American unless you were a white male property holder only a few hundred years ago. I think things are better for more people now, than they have ever been before. Do I really care how they got that way? No- as long as it doesn't seem to involve human misery that cancels out the good. And misery over paying your taxes isn't what I am talking about.
