The original words as I remember reading them were intended to be malleable... hard to do so, and rightfully so, but malleable none the less.
You can't control what it turns in to... if we're going to just let the next generation come in and say, nah... we don't like that one, we're going to go back and undo it... and anything else we don't like.
Then we no longer have a country, not for real anyway... maybe an abstraction of one... at least while the façade holds up.
Again, that's what you want, no large system. Localized systems only that work in isolation of each other. That's what you want. Everyone to fend for themselves, f*ck everyone who doesn't think like me.
Back to the age of conquerors and raping and looting and pillaging.
To think it would devolve into anything other than that is naivety... it's devolved into that every time throughout history.
What makes this time different?
