"Hence the Declaration of Independence. Creative writing at it's best, if I do say so myself."

You did and then some,

It is fine with me if you don't find the document to be a credible argument for our independence. I find it substantial, meaningful, and credible.

At the same time I view it and our constitution as dated. The extent of work the Supremes have to suffer through to determine timely and relevant interpretation is ridiculous. Congress has become a disfunctional group of partisan bafoons that are paralysed to act on conscience toward our best interests. If we don't engage in the kind of social revival TJ recommended to take place on 20 year intervals, we are going to collapse as a society.

I recommend a constitutional convention but I realize there are other venues of change and renewal that are workable.
