Sorry, but I simply don't accept your view that we could survive a WMD attack and maintain our current view of the "Constitution." The fact is that today, the west is already incapable of doing what it must to beat terrorism. We're too soft--just look at the left-wingers in this country, in the media, in Europe. You can't convince them to do what is really necessary. A WMD will put the west into a dark age in which only the strongest will survive, and I don't mean the professors and lawyers.
If you don't believe in the preservation of the Constitution...then you can take Sam Adams advise.
There are millions of us out here who will go down persoinally before that document is shredded. it, and the underlying principles that bear it up are what make us free and lends meaning to that free life.
Discarding it, forgetting it is to invite unimaginably worse conditions.
In WW II we were shocked back into reality and awakened. We can be again. But only so long as we remain free and do not discard the unalienable rights and the moral underpinning to them.
So...discard it if you will...but at your and all of our peril. I shall not.
