Yeah but a two-page font size 20 alternative proposal would introduce a thousand obvious and another ten thousand non-obvious loopholes, much like that double negative of yours. (I'm not trying to be a grammar Nazi, English isn't my native lang either) One of the reasons why the Constitution of USA has to be interpreted constantly is because it's relatively short and vague.
