My point goes to the 2nd post of this thread, where words of the Constitution were used to make a point about the direction the country seems to be heading in now. I interpreted that point to be that what is happening now runs counter to the original intentions of those men who wrote the Constitution.

My point is that may be true, but while the Constitution is an amazing start to a new government, not every ideal that those men brought to bear in that document holds up in today's world. Examples being support of slavery, and denial of rights we take for granted to women, blacks, and native americans, among others.

Does that clarify my point?
