I like the Constitution for many of the reasons you don't like it. I would like to see a strong right to privacy added - which would push the Federal government out of much of the drug regulation.

We also need to have an amendment limiting the Kelo decision,
(Kelo was an anti-property rights decision)

I would also like to an amendment stating that all treaties are subordinate and inferior to the US Constitution. Look at what has happened in the EU to see the dangers posed by treaties.

Beyond that, it should be good for another 100 years. ;-)
Also, this is a republic, not a democracy.

You want democracy, you get Prop 13 with it ;-0

I don't think most people in business think the US has a magic formula - look at how much we have learned from Japan manufacturing practices.

Alvin Toffler 'Third Wave'. He said it was time to change the constitution and updated.

The day I said here that countries like Brazil (that change constitutions once a couple of decades) were in better position I was almost lynched!

But as per Mancur Olson you are correct!
