    the problem is people look at it like it's the fucking bible. 
    They've got that one all wrong, for sure...

    It's okay, but I don't think it's superior to what is comparable in several other countries, and has some problems that some of those others don't, just because it's outdated in some ways. I wish Americans didn't feel so freaking married to it as it is. I agree some seem to think it's like what they conceive the Bible to be and can't be changed (and joke's on the Christians - even the Bible has actually been changed countless times over the Centuries to better suit respective political and social atmospheres).

    An honest question - what's the goal of the Constitution? I couldn't even succinctly tell you that, so I can't vote on whether it's hit the mark or not.
    form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity
