It really says something about “democracy” that the idea of Convention of the States seems to terrify just about everyone. The fear seems to be — “If we have a Convention, and all get together to discuss, and all vote on important matters, my side might lose. I cannot tolerate the possibility that my side might lose a binding vote. Let’s have a war instead and we’ll just fight until my side wins. I hope.”
Other than the perverse satisfaction of seeing those other guys who are criminally insane eating bullets , War should be the final option. If the Convention does not go the way some people wanted War is something that is always waiting for its blood thirsty chance to dance.
