Guest,

Since I don't know which Don you are talking to Guest, Me or the venerable Don Firth, I'll offer my opinion here. The constitution is still strong and still viable. You mistake the democratic voting process as The two Party system. It is only the two party system because of tradition. There is space on the ballot for as many parties as can meet the rule of petition. The system itself is no more flawed now than it was 228 years ago. It is the people who use and abuse the system who are flawed. It is because the two parties carry the most voters that members of these partieds are in power.

The constitution was written to be understood by all who could read. And the words were meant to be understood as to their common usage. Not redefined and parsed down to the most arcane meaning for a single word or phrase.

We don't need a better constitution or system of laws, we need a better crop of people to administer the laws and interpret the constitution which should need no interpretation.

Don
