Think About It ...
- **GANDALF THE WHITE said..."Other evils there are that may come... Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule"
- **JOHN STUART MILL SAID**..."A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by exertions of better men than himself."
If you read Imprimis, as I do, then you may have noticed that this month Michigan Supreme Court Justice Stephen Markman speaks to this very subject; noting that proponents of a 21st Century Constitution, or "Living Constitution" want to replace our representative process of government with a fundamental transition to a judicial system, in which federal judges determine policy. Our founding documents have served to enable us to become the most powerful, wealthiest, and freest nation in history - and such a transition would profoundly alter the equation.
Side note: glad to see you posting again!

I agree with you, Max, as I so often do!
And thanks .. I need to spend less time on Facebook and spend more time putting the stuff I'd post there over here, not necessarily instead, but more in addition to.
Besides, it's hard to get an opinion/comment in the small boxes on FB. I can be more verbose ... er ... um ... myself here!

I'm glad to see you blogging more regularly; you have some great insights to offer, which I've missed during your long period of quiescence. Do keep up the good work!
