Mmmm?  The problem is what do you put in it: the right to bear arms was a
good idea at one time.  Should Fox News disinformation be absolutely
protected?  I'd say not.

Anyway, getting a bill of rights up is practically impossible.  IMHO it's
better to bite off small chunks of practical improvements to real problems
rather than some kind of eternal declaration.  What constitutes being human
has changed enormously over time and will presumably continue to do so.
