Joseph it's you who didn't understand. I didn't mean citizens of the USA. I mean citizens of the rest of the world. Neither was I suggesting the USA change their constitution at all. That's up to the USA people to decide. I mean the United Nations constitution and that IT should be along similar lines to the USA constitutional principles. I'm not talking about any kind of takeover of the USA. I mean the rest of the world being second class citizens in the global village. We won't be too keen on the USA just doing anything they like to us on the principle that we are aliens and of no standing in the world, with trial by military tribunal [if assassination isn't specified first]. See now? There are a LOT of us. While the USA is still the biggest gorilla in the village, it would be a good idea to press for a UN constitution that will serve USA interests when the USA is not any longer any more than another monkey and has no special sway on what goes on in the world. 6 billion grumpy aliens could be quite a force in a decade or three. Keeping the cotton pickers down might be quite a problem if they get uppity. Which they tend to do, with a casual review of history almost anywhere. Heck, we've already got the America's Cup. Mqurice
