The Constitution
This is ONE of my problems with the whole "tea party" ideology. The decision to amend the constitution instead of remaking it was so we would understand our own mistakes and see where we came from. Not so we could gloss over it in a bunch of hoo-ha and rigamarole.
This is 'priestly' civil religion, when the leaders are big on their own team and not so up on their failures. I'm far more interested in what the 'prophetic' side of civil religion, where what we're doing is looked at and the mistakes and flaws are pointed out so we can improve upon the current situation.
You shouldn't read the constitution as it is, but as all that it is and has been. It is both. And! Our elected officials can't even be troubled to STAY through the whole reading? F'n A cotton, f'n A. Guess doing their job doesn't pay the bills.
