The Constitution is just a piece of paper, not holy writ.\
\
From the start, the Constitution has enabled seriously unethical behavior, such as the legal enslavement of other human beings.\
\
While the slavery clauses have been corrected, government officials have subsequently claimed that the Constitution allows them to:\
\
\* extort as much of our income as they like\
\* imprison Japanese people indefinitely without trial\
\* torture prisoners\
\* sterilize women without their consent\
\* dictate the medicines we take\
\* control who we buy services from (from auto repair to zookeeping)\
\* surveil all of our financial transactions without a warrant\
\* surveil all of our communications without a warrant\
\* dictate where we can travel\
\* dictate the size, location, height, and occupancy of our homes\
\* commit crimes with immunity from prosecution\
\* ban private possession of gold\
\* ban the exchange of money without government permission\
\* seize our homes, cars, and property without conviction of a crime\
\* seize and freeze our bank accounts without conviction of a crime\
\* force taxpayers to subsidize / bailout the cronies of government officials (banks, auto firms, insurance companies, farmers, etc)\
\* enslave men in the military and force them to fight and die overseas\
\
Clearly, the Consitution offers little protection for our freedoms, at best.\
\
What matters is the culture.\
\
If the people demand freedom, we\'ll have freedom.\
\
If the people demand tyranny, we\'ll have tyranny.\
\
So, if you demand some tyranny, and then try to hide behind the excuse, \"But it\'s constitutional!\" it doesn\'t matter to me!\
\
It\'s still evil, stupid, tyrannical behavior! You\'re still contributing to the creation of a culture of tyranny!
