Me? Kidding? Only on the outside. Inside, there is great wisdom in what I have to say. => The US constitution is short and not difficult at all to => read and understand. Sure, there are interpretations that => can be difficult, but the basic message is something an => elementary school kid can understand. That's when I got my => first intro to it. => Yes, me too. And if you bothered to read all of my message, you would have noticed that I mentioned that those of us who had the benefit of a decent education (i.e. over 50) will be dying-off sooner than later. Ergo, we will no longer be able to contribute to anyone's understanding of the Constitution. => As far as newly sworn-in citizens being the only ones that => understand it ... => Hardly. That constitution of ours is still better known => around the world than just about any other country's => constitution. Pieces of it are told to travelers as => warnings, such as to watch out because in this country the => citizens are frequently armed. Yes, the result of too many westerns hawked around the world by Hollywood. We are all COWBOYS! Knowing that we have the right to bear arms is not synonymous with understanding the Constitution. Can you recite the terms of Presidential Succession from the 25th amendment without referring to it? I can't but my newly nationalized neighbor can.
