America’s Fragile Constitution

I didn't say that the Constitution couldn't fail us. It could definitely use some tweaks here and there, like with term limits for all government officials, disambiguation of some of the language, strengthening of states' rights, addressing some more modern concepts like "privacy", etc.

But what I am saying is that our current problems are mostly in spite of the Constitution, not because of it.

So what you're saying is that what the Constitution needs is even less democracy and even more oligarchy?

So what you're saying is that you hate America and the idea of individual freedom?

See what I did there? When we twist each other's words and don't even try to understand each other, a medium such as this becomes less than useless.
