In all seriousness, our system is broken and, IMHO, it is in large part because we idolize the Constitution and refuse to update the foundations of our government. Our founders expected a new Constitution every 10-20 years. We haven't even seen an amendment in 30 (as of this coming Saturday). Our country, people, and government are trying to operate in a 21st century world with an 18th century document. It was ahead of its time then, but it is outdated now. The weaknesses have been exposed and they are being exploited by those in power to perpetuate their power for themselves.

What do you think the founding fathers would say if you asked them if a fetus inside a black woman is a person? You seem pretty in tune with history...on the surface it seems completely out of step with their times, but I don't know for sure.
