i have to admit i'm quite jealous of the u.s. constitution as it is very restrictive and works by the assumption that the state has no rights except those explicitely granted therein. really a beautiful document.

though there are some stupid loopholes it heavily depends on the people to defend it. but meanwhile, everybody is whining, brainwashed, focussing on the 2nd amendmend. unable to see its purpose.

other shit is more important, i guess. like what the gas price is and if silicon valley is eating money.

sheep have just lost their way.

It was rather uncommon at the time of its writing to have a written constitution. It's something to point to and say, "no that's not what it says, look here, it says this." I think the founders would have said nothing's perfect, there is no magic, of course the people have to decide, including by arguing a lot, whether to defend it and what detailed policy that translates into. If they don't defend it, they're f'd no matter what anyway.
