I might agree to a planetary constitutional convention if you could guarantee that the "Framers" would be of the same amazing intelligence and selfless statesmanship as the folks who wrote the American constitution back in the 1780s. I don't know where the Jeffersons, Madisons, Franklins, Masons, Adams, etc are hiding, but they sure as hell aren't running the countries we have now. I'd hate to see what the Bushes, Clintons, Chiracs, Blairs, Husseins, etc come up with.
