I love the right to bear arms! And that's covered by the Bill of Rights, not the Constitution.

I <3 the right to bear arms. How could I not?

CharlemagneAllen, that's just genius!

the right to arm bears?

To petition a legislator and get consideration thereof, subject to resources available thereto.

just cause it sounds like bullshit

oooooh you just gave me a great idea!

she knows how to weaken the influence of the lobbyists . . . instead of paying legislators to listen to them, the legislators ought to have

to pay to listen to causes.

that 99% of legislators will stop listening to any but the causes they believe most in.

of course, it's those same legislators who would have to put that idea into law, so I suspect it won't happen...

aherrick: That's in there for a reason, though. It addressed the idea of no representation. In our current system, it gets abused, but

it is still important, otherwise minority and small group interests may never get heard.

or... you'll only have independently wealthy legislators - think how well that worked for Rome .. or ones who vote for their personal

good

yeah, now our legislators get "independently" wealthy after they are elected and bought by lobbyists.

glyphrunner I realize its in there for a reason and why but she has to choose something and that is almost the easiest one

to say you like the least -

unless you just go with the stance that its all ridiculous and needs to be rewritten to accomodate the change in times

I thought about that as part of me actually feels that we need an overhaul.
