aruan"Apparently, Congress is drafting a constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It's served us well for two hundred years and we don't seem to be using it anymore."

Truer words, man. We practically threw the fourth amendment out the window last week, not to even dredge up the absurdity that is the "Patriot Act" (for the record, I don't disagree with the intention with which it was drafted, obviously, but the overreaching powers it grants, which are so 1984 and ripe for the abusing it makes my head spin) or the death of the first amendment when war became a topic. Ben Franklin will never rest in peace at this rate.
Off topic, but further proof that my mom is grand: she bought me ice cream for dinner. No lie. *hugs her tight*
