Here are a few things to use for ideas:
Somthing I did just recently:
Living, Breathing Document.
And this one on the
second amendment being outdated is older.
The clinching argument on the idiotic 'living breathing document is this:
Challenge them to a game of cards. One hand, winner take all. Make the amount in question anything you wish, but you may want to keep it reasonable so they play along.
Tell them they can pick the game. They just need to call out what is is beforehand-anything can be wild that they want. Then tell them that after you both show your hands, you get to interpret the rules of the game as if they were a living, breathing document. For example, the royal flush they had is only valid if it's a tuesday. Otherwise, it's just 5 cards that mean nothing.
Of course, there's no way that you can lose when you are the one interpreting the rules. If they call the game unfair and refuse to take your bet, tell them that changing the meaning of the constitution just because you don't like what it means is much more unfair than changing the rules of a simple game.
Those are nice flash movies right on the subject at hand even.
Thank you everyone. I feel I am talking to a wall with these people.
