Oh Say, Can't You See?
9/20/02 | Lorie K

Posted on 09/20/2002 12:25:51 PM PDT by Lorie K

As a reaction to the general apathy and ignorance which abounds as I watch our once great nation slide into the morass, I was inspired to rewrite the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America.

the original ---

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

My version ----

We the sheeple of the United States, in order to ignore a more perfect union, disestablish justice, insure domestic insecurity, provide for the common offense, promote the general welfare system, and forfeit the blessings of liberty to ouselves and our posterity, do abrogate and disestablish this Constitution for the United States of America.

BTTT to read the severe, and well deserved, abuse of this moron at a later time. These threads are so funny.

Lorie, how about prescription druges and school lunches. And, don't forget, NEVER leave a child behind - it's the law.

On second thought, there is a "theme" going on here--Dawn's Early Light, Fruited Plain, Oh Say Can't You See...

I know, he's posting someone else's lame stuff...

The original sounds MUCH better, especially when sung by the Schoolhouse Rock gang.
