Hear hear, Fearless Leader. The consitution has become a tool for special
interest groups to shove in other people's faces to say, "Hey! It says RIGHT
HERE in the CONSTITUTION that *blah blha blah*." I know people that get
totally offended when a mall preacher at the U of A comes up to them and
says, 'It say RIGHT HERE in the BIBLE that *blah blah blah*." I feel like
saying to some of these people "It says RIGHT HERE on the BOTTOM OF MY FOOT
*thwak*". The consitution was designed to protect people's rights but right
now I feel like I'm being trampled under other people's rights. All due to
interpretation. People are vying to have their rights supercede other
peoples rights, and that misses the entire point of the constiution. In the
famous words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?'

Mike, TGC
