Reply #19: Dont you get angry when someone shreds the constitution?

[DadOf2LittleAngels]

I believe in innate human rights, among them is private property that can not be taken without due process and representative mechanisms. If you read up thread youll see I have no problmes turning the screws on cooperations.

Now to rip off Peter Griffin you know what else really grinds my gears..

Self righteous smug folks who assume if you don't buy what they are selling lock, stock, and barrel you must be some kind of corporate operative. I'm less angry about the idea itself (as bad as chocking the constitution with this is) than I am about the smugness of those who say 'if you disagree you must love the corporate cleptocracy we live in'..

The 'Amendment' they are proposing would take paragraphs to put in the constitution, meanwhile real rights are somewhat more simple.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Free speech, press, assembly and worship took the founders no more than 45 words! Thats how fundamental a rights should be! Anything as complex as what is being proposed should be done via acts of congress under normal law ala the Sherman Anti-Trust act etc..
