Flawed though it may be, it is what it is. It either means what it says, or it's nothing more than the whatever the whimsy of contemporary semantics shall make of it.

Everyone has to decide for himself which it will be.

To be brutally honest, if you think it's flawed you should be talking about why and what amendment would be need to correct it. Instead you just go around looking to start a pissing match over it.

I didn't start anything. I didn't post the article. And when it was posted, all I did was highlight Madison's bit about the states being "subordinately useful." It's worthy of highlighting, as I think a lot of freepers would be surprised to see Madison using such derisive language.

Someone came along with a faulty interpretation of the plain meaning of Madison's words (ironic, no?) and I corrected him.

In fact, I don't remember engaging you at all. I'm pretty sure YOU starting wagging your weenie around at me, not the other way around. I think you responded to me from a post that wasn't directed to you at all.

As for what I should or shouldn't propose, whatever. The first step is admitting there is a problem. I know that my comments here sometimes cause people to question things they take for granted. That's good enough for me.

The whole system is bad. A consolidated republic of this size leads to tyranny. End of story.
