How smart do you think the all the voters were in 1700's? I'll leave the constitution and people's right to vote just how it is thank you. This reminds of someone playing a game and they can't win so they want to re-write the rules...
Woah there!!! I know we're supposed to be on the same team here- (liberal, communist, America haters), but I can't let that one sit! In the 1700s, blacks and women did not have the right to vote, and it required two amendments to the constitution to fix it. While I feel the Constitution must be followed to the letter, and not "just a [censored] piece of paper" as our current President said, the founders were very clear to make the Constitution a living document that could and should be amended to fit the changes of a growing and developing country. I for one, would love to see the electoral college abolished, but I'm not holding my breath on that one. Still trying to find that Bjorn quote, tho... this is fun isn't it? Thanks Geoff for the bending of the site rules to discuss this historic moment. I'll be careful to be respectful to all the fascist idiots who disagree with me. OOOOPS ;-)
And John and I agree....I also feel the Constitution must be followed to the letter, but as it has been amended before when we find something worth changing, we should still have that opportunity...but while in force,it should be followed verbatim until changed! not sure which quote of mine you`re looking for??
and re how smart the voters were in the 1700`s as Jim asked....not so sure many of them were smarter of dumber...but the writers of the constitution were smart.....but I`m sure there could be things in todays society ,or tomorrows ,even they couldnt forsee.
again , I will say this again...I really appreciate the way this discussion is handled....not like it gets handled on PY`s Clubhouse! its almost like we have adults discussing over here...lol
