Shalom Israel:
"The only trouble with that strategy is, 200 years have demonstrated that it doesn't work."
So now we are starting to get down to your basic position.
You are basically saying our form of government doesn't work (specifically voting for representatives) and never has worked (at least in the last 200 years).
If it has been broken for 200 years, how do you propose to fix it? I mean, absolutely, precisely, certainly, with no possibility of a doubt, fix it. After all, you do think in terms of absolutes. No generalities here. Specifics.
Presumably you would start by taking out the "weasel word" 'unreasonable' which the framers of the constitution were so careless (or so devious) to have put there in the first place. What other rewrites of the constitution would you propose? Or would you scrap it altogether?
Many of us on this forum have tried (to one degree or another) to engage you in discussion on this issue, but you have engaged us as though we are using ignorant sophistry, while you, of course, are one of the truly enlightened ones. Perhaps you can now reveal to us your plan to correct the mistakes of the last 200 years.
Absolutely.
Thank you for your excellent question, Cap. I'm not holding my breath for an actual response.
I see S.I. doesn't have too much money where his mouth is.
