Good arguement and well constructed.
Be kind of fun for a group of US citizens to draft an original amendment today on - oh say...religious freedoms - that would make sense to or have any relevance for folks in the 23rd century; a measly 200+ years away.

If you look not only at the words and writings of our founders, but also at those of the European philospohers of the Enlightenment, they were quite adamant about "self evident," and "inalienable," meaning just that...Too many Americans have failed to study, much less read the Constitution and the Declaration, and are easily manipulated by the charlatan scholars who offer to tell them, "what it really means."

Are you confused by the one we have now, darlin? -- Why would you think our present 1st will be irrelevant in the 23rd?
