AHA! Scared you right?
Not any more than thousands of others that seem to think the Constitution is better than something Nancy, Harry, Barry, Di, Babs, and the rest would come up with.
The idea of a second CC scares lots of people. You recall that the first was called to adjust the Articles of Confederation--NOT to write a new Constitution. ....
Madison, at least, went in with the idea that the Articles were beyond repair... read them over they're a mess; very surprising that we functioned as well as we did using them. Mainly inertia from the Rev, as I see it.
I have serious doubts that normal and peaceful means will suffice to bring about meaningful change inour governing process. Perhaps next election we will choose a person who can bring us together again, but until then we will live in our tribal enclaves (some walled) hurling invective at people who have the temerity to disagree with us. I also doubt that we will ever have another CC--so where does that leave me--perplexed and horrified. My wife just told me that every day for the net two decades 10,000 people a day (baby Boomers) will be eligible for SS and Medicare (Source--George Will )
See attached photo as to answer the first part; but I think the midterm elections may right the ship of state enough to limp into port by 2012. I do agree there likely won't be a CC but if ther is the end is near. We have no Madisons that are apparent. As to the last part... I've got about 2 1/2 years to get there. Hope I get there before my insurance from my old job gets the Cadillac tax applied to it or the district I worked for renegs on the deal I retired under.
I sincerely hope that we can find a government that, staying within the Constitution, can find a way outof the box we have nailed ourselves into most securely.
First we must find a government that will read and understand the Constitution... the last several have been sadly lacking there.
Enjoy the day--read Federal paper No. 10 and be sure to grease the Maxim gun.
No... I'm more the Howth Mauser type. 8)
