>Remember the reporter in the 1970s who asked 100 people on the street to comment on a mimeographed copy of the Bill of Rights? Over 40% thought it was a communist document. <

Most people are idiots. Hamilton knew that back in 1776. Not much changes. As for Constitutional rights, are people really entitled to rights they don't understand and are too ignorant to protect? I don't know the answer to that, but I don't waste a lot of time worrying about it. Governments rise and governments fall, in time, I am sure our government will eventually pass into the history books. And I don't care very much. Life goes on- sometimes pleasantly(American suburbia) sometimes unpleasantly (russian gulag).
