"To paraphrase an infamous American, "That depends on what the meaning of abrogated is."

The value of a written Constitution is open to question when 4 of 5 American adults have never read a book. OTOH, randomly reading such books as exist is a low probability path to enlightenment."

I had intended to continue our discussion of cartels on the vons' thread, but SI is acting unusually balky for me today. I've tried to submit this post several times already with no success. Sometimes links work, very slowly, and sometimes I get "server error" messages. Maddening.
