No it is not funny it is depressign and is the reason many feel that we should just start over and sh$tcan what we have. The constitution convetion route only leads you in a circle back to where you start because it still does not allow you to leave.
I disagree. I think it's the best way to leave. Secession is already a proven failure. With a convention, you set the terms of ratification. If you don't like the terms, you walk out. With the whole system up in the air, it's the best time to leave.
As I said, any states who leave will need foreign alliances as protection, but I would think those could be had.
I'm in favor of scrapping the Constitution. I see it as a failure.
But I don’t think it’s depressing. It’s just the facts of life. What is somewhat depressing is the unwillingness of people to imagine something better. The unwillingness to admit the inherent flaws. But that’s all just life, as well. I don’t let it depress me.
