CONSTITUTION (Better?????)

"I am SURE you have the Rosetta stone that will unlock its true meanings and why we have LOST it."

"lost": That's pretty simple ... we lose a little of it every time another unconstitutional government program or hand-out is implemented via congress or executive order.  It becomes a shadow of what it once was.  As Walter Williams said, "Where in the Constitution does it say anything about midnight basketball?" There is a means for implementing these programs and hand-outs and it's called an amendment.

"true meanings"What are you talking about?  Who said anything about true meanings????

But if I had to answer your question, I'd say that the true meaning of the constitution is that it is our set of rules by which we live.  It is not a living (ever changing) document.  That makes it worth less (2 words).

..."when you think about it that's exactly what non-adherence to the constitution and the political whores have turned us into.... a democracy heading down the path to destruction like every democracy before us."

Too bad the founders did not agree with you.
