That's what living in a Constitutional Monarchy will do to you. If the original King George would have been so easy-going, we might never have cut the cord. But think about it, this is all beginning to make sense in an insidious way. Our educational efforts pretty much suck ... so who can read the Constitution (assuming its existence is known), let alone understand any of it? Those of us who can and have and do are getting old and will die, sooner than later because our healthcare system sucks. Going forward, the only ones who will really understand any of that Constitutional mumbo-jumbo will be newly-sworn citizens, but we are not really allowing any significant immigration. So as the tree is left unattended, unfed, unwatered, unnourished, it will wither and die. We need a Constitutional amendment to authorize the translation of our Constitution into Spanish, but strictly for historical purposes. This would be consistent with that episode from Star Trek where the aliens were really post-nuclear-holocaust Americans.
