the constitution was made to be changed, take a second and think of the intentions of the document. it was never meant to be set in stone, hence the ability to amend it.
consider the 2nd and 3rd amendment, this was a direct result of British abuse of power, and were major factors in the success of the revolution. do you worry about quartering of soldiers in private houses during peace time? where is the organization protecting that? our reasoning for bearing arms is completely different from the original intentions. we do not need them to keep america free, they did. but reason rarely counts in these arguments. as for commenting iq, that is laughable.
live in fear of the government, and ignore its track record, sure seems like i am the one in denial. i mean its not like i provided examples, paranoid rantings are much more effective.
The point is that we would always have the right to be free of government tyranny. It, like the assemblage design of the government, is a part of the check and balances.
Look at the UK for the way things will go if you let them.
But yes, let's put ourselves at the tender mercies of politicians. The most trusted of professions.

But yeah, I guess you do have a better understanding of government and rights that the Founding Fathers did. It must be great to be you.
