I don't have a contrary agenda, so I guess it's easier for me to understand what was written, as it was written and the reasoning why. Moreover, the more I study it, the more convinced I am.
These last few decades, especially the last one, have shown me that The Republic is gone, the Constitution is just a piece of paper and that we are under new management, but are comfortable not acknowledging that fact now, but soon we will have to.
Doing a quick inventory of what makes a sovereign nation, I see that we have lost our borders, can't control our elections, have lost our currency and are watching our treasure being looted. Our media, most of the government and half of the "opposition" party are under the control of one political party and they have let absolute power do what absolute power does best, all sung in the key of the Chicago way.
So, hey, y'all just do whatever you want to. Nothing matters and what it if did? Our forefathers might have won the war and saved the world, but we've lost the country.
Unsaid but you are correct that evolution is an ongoing process. We no longer ride a horse to deliver the postal pieces, take weeks or months to travel the country/oceans, visit outer space, replace worn out hearts, etc. Globalization is upon us whether we like it or not.
Things change and we have to adapt as best we can. I don’t have an agenda either and prefer your position but things are what they are and will be changing until the end of time.
