Right. 27 amendments in 223 years. It doesn't change because your vag queefs.
lol "the ancients". The Cons ution is only as antiquated as whichever of the 27 admendments Marcus Bryant thinks "went to far".

May 7, 1992 - the day upon which the Cons ution was perfected. Why the is this sacred tome preserved on paper? Carve that sucker into stone tablets.
The fact that one area of land has more lines going through it than another shouldn't mean its has more votes proportional to the number of lines crossing.
So an amendment to address a technicality means that the do ent itself should not be revered? Hey, if you feel your personal liberty should be subject to change at the hands of a majority, sobeit.
I don't think any do ent of any kind should be "revered". The same goes for the "ancients" who crafted it, who apparently had the crazy idea that they weren't demigods sent down from Mount Libertaria to impart their immortal wisdom upon all future generations...hence the admendment clause.
Sure, so we can dot the i's and cross the t's. I'll take the ancients over the truthers, teabaggers, birthers, MSNBC and FoxNews addicts. "Mount Libertaria" over that crew anytime.
For the record, I'm a big fan of the Bill of Rights, and I'm sorry to see them erroded - I just don't wallow in religious despair that we modern dolts "ruined" something that "got it just right" way back then...whatever year that "then" happens to be for whatever that particular declinist marks as the high water mark.
lol, everyone in 1776 walked 6 inches above the ground on a cloud of rational bliss. Not a partisan mob to be found.
Hey, those old ers weren't perfect. But compared to what passes today as wisdom and probity I'm drinking the Kool-Aid. Speaking of drinking, the people saw fit to amend the work of the ancients to prohibit that once upon a time.
on topic...
Hey, TYTy is back. Relative of yours?
..thought I'd wake up the crowd after your PMSing about the cons ution...
y
Yeah, who cares about the big things?
TYTy just posted a clip about a failed appointment to the NLRB.
it was actually about changing Senate closure rules from 60 to 55...no need to amend anything, just a simple majority vote...
Yep, and later they saw fit to amend it yet again, further illustrating the corrective power of admendments.
Its so easy to advocate a pipe dream of wiping the slate clean but its not about the people that are there and all about the people who put them there. Unless you wipe the slate clean with our population the problem remains because the people in congress aren't the problem.
People in this country just don't care. Sure, the polls say they don't like anyone there but the fact is that what they really mean is they don't CARE about anyone there. You take any measure of attention and the people in DC are superseded on so many levels. If you put new people in DC they're going to moved by special interests once again because special interests are the ones who actually give a and are motivated to use the system that is in place.
How active are you in civics, Marcus? You and moan on this forum constantly but how active are you in the libertarian party? How about your local government? I don't know but if you're like the average person then the chances that you vote more than once every four years are exceedingly low. The chances that you're active in a political party are even less. The chances that you actively participate in the events of any political party are even smaller.
Oh God, the LP-USA.
Run away. Run away fast.
I'm basically content to have a somewhat sentimental, somewhat academic mindset. It bothers me not a whit that my political orientation isn't au courant or progressive.
What is au courant and progressive is the decay of freedom and the US republic, before my very eyes, something I never really expected to see in my lifetime, even as recently as ten years ago.
Now, I'm not too sure I can rule it out.

The USA has a great future behind it at this point.
I will drink heavily with the weird old whigs (and with very many others who share my political views in no wise) and tell tall tales about the weird old republic, until the relentless pressure of novelty blots out its all its traces and all the weird old whigs with it.
There is no existing political party in the US suitable for someone like me. They're all in the past.
I refuse the the choices given me.
They suck.
They all suck. Demonstrably. Life is the lesson.
