Hi.
Maybe I am naive (mmh, unlikely).
But shouldn't a constitution be something binding and lasting {#0}??
Why does it need to be updated every few months or even years (except
for minor [technical / proceeding-] adjustments that do not constitute
any substantial change)?
To meet ad-hoc "requirements" on a day2day basis?
A constitution should not be treated like a software app where a new
version is released every 6 months. And where each new version makes
people forget all of the then suddenly "obsolete" versions.
p.s. In my previous mail I mentioned the (grand!) US-constitution,
which is in large parts (effectively) out of power for almost hundred
years now. Who of you readers took the time to read it?
Before my American friends dislike me for this comment (instead of
researching a bit), let me explicitly state that the EU monster is no
bit better, no - unfortunately not. The EU also uses a corrupt Central
bank system that only a handful understand. Let's also not forget,
that the EU doesn't permit citizens to vote for or against the
upcoming constitution in most EU-member states, after the "negative"
experience in some countries that it might get rejected in a public
referendum. It is unfortunate that so few folks look beyond what the
equalized media present them / us day after day.
Ok, back to more shining aspects, namely OpenSolaris.org, x.org and mesa/drm ...
A calm thoughtful minute to all.
