I absolutely agree that The Constitution was not well thought out. But it is black ink language on paper or really parchment. It is what we have. There are many ways we can interpret what is written. That is sometimes we use those funny little marks....what do you call 'em....punctuation!

Where else in the Constitution do you find that those punctuation marks are not well thought out. I am aware of the comma in the 2nd Amendment that might offer some confusion to some people. But you seem to be talking of other areas of the Constitution seemingly with great knowledge. Perhaps you can enlighten the rest of us about what parts of the Constitution are not well thought out and how else those parts you point out are easily misinterpreted.

Very few people have social conscience. I wanted to end the chatter at work and on the bus and etc. hand wringing won't help anyone. As citizens we have a responsibility to care about another. In a small context of care, we at least should be civil to each other. Most people are not and cannot understand why other people don't associate with them.

I believe that Mahatma Ghandi said:
Be the change you wish to see in the World.

And you tell us that changing the Constitution will make people feel better about helping others. I would disagree with your supposition of social conscience and say that most people have a social conscience rather than very few. But having a social conscience does not mean the government taking my money and giving it to groups, people or organizations I don't approve of. Do I not have a choice of supporting my own groups that might be different than your list of groups?

Which means you have the ability to change yourself to be an example, not to make anyone else change to meet your needs.

Any evil leftie turd dem can simply ask a third grade English teacher about commas. They must have missed that class.

The comma in the second amendment has already been adjudicated.

Evil leftie Dems are simple people. Others say simply brainless.
