If certainty is what you seek, you'll find little of it in self-government.

However, Machiavelli, Thomas Gordon (Cato's Letters), James Madison, as well as history have shown that the people can typically be counted on to make the right decisions when they are informed.

An Article V convention would bring our founding principles to the forefront of national discussion.

I understand and agree with the spirit of a CoS. I just don’t think I have much hope for it. This country can’t even come to grips with the likes of Ferguson and its aftermath and the basic problem it represents. Couple this one thing with all the others of the tyranny we call government now, and I just think some very nasty unintended things could happen.

I don’t want to stop a CoS, but I don’t want to have rainbows blown up my keester about how this and how that will go, either.

I’ll shut up now and go my way. If it (CoS) does happen, I’ll certainly hope for the best. :0)
