You are right in pointing out the absurdity of my saying "virtually every amendment to the Constitution has resulted in far more harm than good". That was not the right way to express myself, since I don't believe that, nor that the Constitution should never be amended.
The amount of time I spend composing posts in live threads is much shorter than normal, and, consequently, errors are guaranteed.
Having said that, I still maintain that the Constitution should only be amended as a last resort, however, and for good reason.
So please allow me to amend my Post #75 to read as follows (if we can amend the Constitution, we can amend posts, I hope):
With the notable exception of the first ten, far too many amendments to the Constitution have resulted in more harm than good. This would be no exception.
Reinforcing federal power in response to excessive federal power is not the answer.
