I say we call another Constitutional Convention....because...

[kentuck]

..we believe in competition. I say we take our same Constitution and nominate and elect new Senators and Congressmen to replace all the ones presently in Washington. Those will be considered persona non gratis. Of course, we will not have the money to pay the new Representatives with until we can create our own Fed. They will have to serve out of duty to country and will work for nothing until we can get our country on its feet. :) We will divide the country straight down the middle, just like Bush and Rove might do. First thing we do, we tell them to stop sending taxes to Washington. They have screwed up our country and no longer deserve our support. We are only doing what our Declaration of Independence states we should do. Who needs them?

2. Every now & then, in history, there are eras when great minds seem

to all be in the same place at the same time. Great leaps in enlightenment come from these moments in time. Humanity is enhanced by the fortuitous incidence of so many great thinkers working together. Fantastic enterprise is launched at these occasions.

But, in America, this is NOT one of those eras. Don't think the current population of the US would allow for the flowering of a new, democratic, Renaissance. We're in more of a Dark Ages, pitchforks in hand sort of place. ;)

3. Can we throw Rove into the Boston Harbor? n/t

4. Maybe we can get some of Abramoff's "clients" to do it?

They won't even have to dress up....

6. No, that would cause a massive fish kill.

5. Anti abortion people wanted to call a constitutional

convention. The scary thing is that if a convention is convened it can toss out the present constitution. I happen to like our constitution and except for getting rid of the electorial college I resist most attempts to change it.

7. Why not?

It could be like those "war crimes tribunals" that George Bush, Henry Kissinger, and other American officials keep getting hauled before. Silly, but maybe they can make a point that needs to be made. Or they could just be silly.

For the "trials", I go with "silly", but a Constitutional Convention, now, might be different. It, while totally without any legal significance, could put forth the vision of the best progressives for what America should look like.

8. I would dread such a thing in this day and time. The men in power

today would intervene and ensure that their agenda becomes the Constitution. We would definitely go to war over it--again. It seems that the Civil War never ended the way things are today.

9. bad idea . . . considering that BushCo controls everything . . .

they'd also undoubtedly control a Constitutinal Convention . . . and the first thing on their agenda would be scrapping the Bill of Rights . . .
