Hearing the Constitution is a living document makes me want to chamber my guns. They are already loaded but only a fool keeps them chambered.
Let me put it this way, there is no such fucking thing as a living document, for you brainiacs out there, think of this : THAT'S WHY THEY WROTE IT DOWN !
Think of all the contracts you may have signed, what if they were living documents. In the last few years mortgages on houses somehow became living documents and look what happened 700 billion dollars later. When the ink is dry, the document is the document. There is no change, like I said that's why the fuck they wrote it down and signed it.
See the problem now is that we are so far off the path of actually living under true Constitutional rule, that a return to same would be costly and painful to most. And the government started violating the Constitution almost the day it was written. Sedition trials, sex laws, all that, and most of the bullshit because of religion.
They seem not to have noticed that the Constitution refers to "The Creator", not Yahweh, not the God of Abraham, not Allah or Buddah. The Creator is what it says, and if you need a cite for that I just don't know what to tell you. Try wiki.
People are people and it takes a strong Man to not imbue his beliefs on others, and when given power, becomes dangerous. That is why there is supposed to be a system of checks and balances so to speak, to prevent this from happening.
It didn't work, so my logical conclusion is the "living document" statement is a lie. It is actually dead. It has expired. Nobody is interested in the words of Horatio Bunch to then congressman David Crockett. Nobody cares if we put people in jail for having pot. After all, if you don't smoke pot, what do you care ? That is the prevalent mentality.
Unlike the normal US born asshole I care about the rights of others. I am a Man goddammit and I am all for legal abortions although I will never have one. People want same sex marriages and some are all over that like a cheap suit, saying that it is contradictory to the way this country is supposed to be. I found no reference to marriage in the Constitution, and the only thing that comes close is the fact that one spouse cannot be compelled to testify against the other. Believe me though, you piss her off she will not have to be compelled.
I guess I want my documents dead. I want the ink dry and for the document to stand in the form it was in when I signed it. I wonder what the signers of the Constitution and Declaration would think if they knew then that we were going to change the definitions of words and twist the thing all to hell.
There is none in the public eye I can see that understands this in what I call the proper way. First of all Christians think this is a Christian country, nothing could be farther from the truth. Look at the documents upon which this country was founded and find me one word or phrased that says so. You can't because it simply is not there.
One of the biggest things touted back then for independence was religious freedom. There were other problems of course, but in a way I think it was all part of a plan. Remember I look at results and can think backwards. So figure this.
During the revolutionary war the English fought in rows and columns and were very easy to pick off, meantime the settlers got behind trees and took cover to reload etc. What kind of strategy is that ? If England really wanted to keep ahold of this territory, they would have prepared for it. They were already, back in those days, considered almost a world power, or at least a force to be reckoned with. I state now that they really did not want to win. I would suspect that they were selective in just who they sent to fight and die here in the late 1700s.
Man's inhumanity to Man did not start yesterday. Backward thinking is not always appropriate, but sometimes can lead to correct conclusions based on results. When tertiary issues are considered, and they do sometimes come to light after the fact, many things are sometimes revealed.
England knew the potential of the new world, that's why they sent anyone here in the first place, to try to tame it enough to survive in it. They knew about gold and how to find it, they knew all about natural resources, possibly more than we do today. When you slip slide the analysis both ways, somewhat like a violin bow on a string, you can glean certain things.
First of all, back then travel across the ocean was unsure, not always successful and incredibly expensive. That's why some of the original settler had to become indentured servant, aka slaves, just to get here. You did not just take a cab to the airport like now.
So the Crown, that may have had a few brain cells working at the time, realized just how vast an undertaking that governing this vast land remotely would be. We would do it in a heartbeat today, but back then it was not so easy. If it were possible at all.
If my reason bears out at all, that means there is a possibility thayt the revolutionary war was just a show. What follows is that people got the illusion of freedom for a time. Thgat is all. While I admit that this has probably contributed to our national spirit, of which there is very little left, we are no different than anyone else. The fact is we never were. Witch hunts and all that, we brought that.
Let's touch on witch hunt for a moment. If I knew a true witch, and I mean a real one with kickass powers, burning her at the stake would be the farthest thing from my mind. I would befriend her and talk to her about problems people are having, and try to enlist her help, as long as it is toll free so to speak. I use the female vernacular because a male would be termed a warlock I think. Thing is, almost jokingly, there was an episode of Bewitched where Samantha was in the old days and then regained her memory. She wiggled her lips and her chains fell right off her wrists, a demonstration of power. Said right out something like "You have never killed a witch, you can't".
Thing is, people fear the unknown, and those with the most to lose fear the most. That, I believe is the reason that US citizens are prohibited by law from having contact with extraterrestrials. Somebody comes here with superior technology and I get a chance to talk to them before the government ? They can't have that. If you knew me you would know why so the much more.
So skip the illusion and give me reality. Operate within where you have in which to operate. So shall I. When I cross the boundries they set, I know I am putting myself at risk, and so should you.
You may have noticed in the last decade or so that people no longer say "It's a freee country", and personally I am glad because it is a lie and always has been. I don't like being lied to.
Up until the recent "Castle law" ruling by the supreme court, any references to the second amendment were disallowed in gun possesion cases at what they call law. Even a politician got nailed on that in Ohio. And don't fool yourself for one fucking second, they don't want to take the guns away for our safety, they want to take the guns away for their own safety.
I want the Constitution taken out of the nitrogen filled case in which it lays dead, I am getting low on toilet paper.
Let's say you're a painter and the concract says paint five rooms. Later they say they they really meant six rooms.
That's my synopsis of the situation.
Sad, yes, but I am a realist.
