How To Understand Our Constitution.

Here's to the Constitution nobody believes in. Ya think I'm wrong? Well how come both the left and the right love to quote the Constitution and call upon the Constitution in order to prove and defend their competing ideologies. See if you read only those sections of the Constitution that agree with you're own ideas of how to run a country and ignore anything that disagrees with you, then you don't understand the concept. The founding fathers we so proudly hold up as being perfect, were actually closer to perfection than we'd like. By that I mean they were able to see the good in both sides of many issues. They decided to be fair to everyone. Not just to you're way of thinking, but to many ways of thinking. See, you're way of looking at an issue only represents about a third of the people and their way of thinking. In other words, you're in the minority. And in a fair and honest process, you lose. Or you would except the other two groups are about evenly divided. What you need to do is get one of the other groups to agree with you. Either that or you need to agree with one of the other groups. That or, perish the thought, compromise. See that's the beauty of our Constitution. It makes it easy to compromise to get things done. There is another way, that's to try to force a group to agree with you, but that's not allowed in our Constitution. So if you think the Constitution was written by someone exactly like you, you don't understand the Constitution. That puts you in an alien group of misfits.
