Subject: RE: BS: Same-sex marriage and the constitution
I agree with Amos' posting above. The Constitution of the United States of America is one of the greater documents ever written. It speaks of and for freedom and all humanity, and it is remarkable. It ranks up there (in my estimation) with The Ten Commandments or The Magna Carta. (I realize the MC has a few problems, but it did begin to establish rights and responsibilities within government.) It is literature at its finest, and people gotta be real careful before they go messin' with it. It is not really my business; I'm Canadian. However, I have brought it into senior English classes for students to study. That and the "Gettysburg Address" and "I Have a Dream." These writings are priceless. I hope Americans will stop Bush from using a document (that has inspired people all over the world) as a means of furthering his agenda. However, if the people don't, I hope the Supreme Court does.
