Oh, stop with the silly trigger words.
Who owns the United States Constitution Tom? To whom does it belong? Hint, former President Washington got it right, even though he owned people; he knew who owns the Constitution.
There are conspiracies all around you.
Not in or around our government. Are there nepotistic backroom deals made, I'm sure, all the time. I'm equally sure they have no bearing on the laws we make and how they're enforced, nor whether we practice rule of law. This means our regime is not corrupt, and that means, no conspiracy at the level that you and
@ffreeloader apparently believe in. Or even seriously entertain.
There's nothing mysterious or secret about that...And people do not need conspiracies to advance their own self-interests or the interests of those who they consider to be part of their coterie and social strata.
Nor are there laws against such activity, and nor would there be in any moral nation under a moral regime.
But don't worry idolater...I'm sure there will be many hands to help you build that tower.
I just need one, to start.
The Constitution's purpose was to secure the peace, the liberty and the safety of all Americans. Right now our 'global disorder' allows for the possibility that one of these suicidal mass murderers winds up with his fingers in reach of one of these buttons, that sets off nuclear guns. We're way too close to this possibility right now. Our confederation model is proven false, dead on arrival. We don't actually have to see WWIII 'triggered' to know this, right now. I know you and Ffreeloader know this, neither of you aren't severely intelligent.
Call it a tower. Call it a seed. But it's got to begin somewhere, this status quo is abominable. It's worth fighting a hot war to achieve this goal, but we do have time still to work diplomatically.
I would love for Canada to be received into the Union. Or Venezuela. Not Puerto Rico, they don't have enough capital to offer. But someplace rich in resources, whether it's oil, or land, or coastline, or just property down near Aruba, because why should the Dutch be getting so much American money?
We just need one country, one nation, to agree to the same thing that the original 13 nations (because they were each sovereign, there's no doubt that today's translation of the ancient 'state' as in 'United States' is 'nation') agreed to in 1787 or 89 or I can never remember which year. The deal's the same now as it was then.
In return for giving up their absolute sovereignty they got to join a nation that has weathered all military storms, where their prior confederation (e.g. the EU, NATO, the UN) would have failed them. America could have never survived under the Articles of Confederation their first regime. That regime was as powerful as those regimes I noted parenthetically above. They barely survived the Revolution, and they for sure would have fallen to the British in 1812 if they had that to do over again.
The Constitution's primary purpose was peace. It, works. The EU, NATO, the UN----we don't know what these regimes can or will do, so far they don't look promising. I think we can say right now that they have all allowed us as a species to get way too close to WWIII, whether or not this currently small fire burning in Eastern Europe goes out, or if it spreads. Either way, they each of them have failed. They have failed to keep us safe. This current disorder is too dangerous. It's too dangerous for our kids, our grandkids, and yes our "coterie and social strata" too.
Nothing like this happens in a generation. It takes centuries for this sort of global ideology to materialize, but it'll go a lot quicker if we start sowing seeds now. Publish it, get it out there, push it, argue for it, take the blinders off peoples' eyes right now.
If there's a better solution, I'm all ears. Right now I've seen enough. The US Constitution's it, until someone successfully persuades me otherwise. And I'm all ears.

Here is Russian ffreeloader troll: Don't look at my first post from Conservative Treehouse, look at my second post from Aljazeera because my first post didn't work out so well for me!
