RE:"Without the constitution we live in a repressive and unpredictable country which could soon be taken over by big special interests. The oil-weapons business and a few others are trying their hardest now." You know the Liberal mantra well. Next you will be claiming all tax cuts are a gift to the rich...(except the ones Dems voted for). One of the biggest ones was signed by Clinton and is causing great problems for the economy now, but no one seems to mention that one.

No one is saying that we should get rid of the constitution, in fact I think our country should follow it close then we do. Jim's point is more about how certain liberal groups claim the constitution as supporting their case when it does not. The 1st amendment would support the right of an artist to create work that most people would think of as offensive. It doesn't however mean that the government has an obligation to user public funds to pay for or display the work. Tim
