I love to throw the dice in Las Vegas. Over the years I stand a little over even because of some lucky rolls - - - “Hard Ten on the Hop” has brought in hundreds to save some nights.

Black 8 on the roulette wheel has paid well.

But I will never bet on another Constitutional Convention. The odds of a payoff are low, and the odds on losing everything are too great. Moreover, because of today’s political climate and the lack of education among voters, I would consider a fix to be in - - with some guys with crooked noses ready to collect the spoils.

But, if you believe that a new Constitutional Convention would being about a better government, you may find comfort that Disneyland is still open, complete with Fantasyland.

Give me a break...your well tought out comments are precisely why we’re $14 TRILLION in debt, with $106 TRILLION in UNFUNDED promises made by that wonderful organization you are so afraid to change using the very Constitution you purport to support.

I suspect Jefferson, Mason and others would not take to kindly about your “fear” of a very constitutional process called a Constitutional Convention. Or do you not support the Constitution afterall. Or were the Founder just a bunch of dummies for putting that darned ole’ Constitutional Convention in there in the first place.

Like I said, give me a break. Keep supporting the status quo and when your children or grandchildren are on breadlines, do say you weren’t warned.

Instead of Madison, King and Wilson at the Constitutional Convention, imagine Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, Carl Levin, . . . the whole Congressional Progressive Caucus . . .

No thank you.
