We say we want to change this or that amendment, challenge this or that ruling concerning it, but how many of us can say we have really read and understood its importance, its nuances, its ramifications if we change it or abuse it. I'm not going to debate it here. I have my thoughts on its meanings, its original intent, but it is not for me to tell anyone else how to interpret it. That's the prerogative of the courts and our legislators. It is for me to say to readers that you need to think carefully how you vote this November, but first you need to read and understand how our government is meant to function. It's a bit more than that rallying cry of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Go pursue that happiness today, but then get down to the business of understanding why you celebrate this day.
Note: I have been on vacation, ill, and having eldercare issues (that's another whole blog later), so I have been lax in my posts. That will improve.
