What a contrast to the European "Constitution." Ours is direct and to the point. After over 200 years, we've only had to add a few paragraphs and haven't yet had to change a thing. We could probably fit 10 of our Constitutions inside the Euro preamble alone!

I'll see your John Lock, John Milton, and raise you a Socrates on "Protagoras", by Plato.
http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/protagoras.html
On the one hand, hardly can a man become good,
For the gods have made virtue the reward of toil,
But on the other hand, when you have climbed the
height,
Then, to retain virtue, however difficult the acquisition, is
easy.

Cool, thanks for the links. I tried to listen, but I need to get realAudio for Mac first...later today.
It is amazing how many great thinkers there were, and what a shortage it seems we have today. Or maybe just too many voices today that I miss the intelligent ones in the noise.

As a matter of fact, I've read most of it.
I did not in my original post indicate whether or not I agreed with any of it. I simply pointed out that it existed.
If you want to start a flame war over it, go for it. But argue with Congress, not me, because Congress authorized it's creation in 1992.

And the 16th amendment means NOTHING because only Congress has the authority to coin money
