Quote:You should try reading the Confederate Constitution. They got it mostly right except for those few states that wanted that property thing in there(idiots). I'll give you a copy.
Seriously you should read it with regards to Congress.....they were not allowed to spend any money...a President served for six years only...and the vice president could then run...and serve.
Yeah well, I'm thinking an 1860ish doc for an agricultural society, subsidized by human labor, is not the model for today. South has been paying for that 'miscalculation' down to this day.
Quote:Guess what ... I know about those conspiracy things some of you all talk about .... ever hear about the Barons of Runnymede ...there were conditions my friend. Clause 61 wasn't the only one...
'Conditions' or not, they still lived at the sufferance of a king. I like our Constitution.
I also like "man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails from the last priest."
When it comes to conspiracies, their likelihood and viability, I like Occam's Razor: "Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected."
The fewest conspirators too. Too much can go wrong, people like to talk.
