As a sidenote, the internet itself counts as a history, social studies, math, science, pop culture, and all around gigantic look into the human condition. The largest reference we have, which is pretty much a book.

Just a thought, Richard.
"I’m fearless in my heart.
They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."

CF - Yes, I get why we need them in theory. I guess I was searching more for a reason of why we need a piece of paper to guarantee us anything? I mean wouldn't it be common sense to treat another with well, common sense?

I guess I already kind of know why I'm asking this question was just more interested in if my theory of why it is this way was correct.
That's all.  :)

The constitution mostly protects the public from rowdydow in the government that serves them, Richard. Do you really want to burn it up? Also, did you really mean that you want to burn all books? You honestly want to destroy the compendium of human knowledge? :dunno:
:plus: for using compendium. The word is some what dated but good.  :viking:

Yeah I've been trying to use a lot of underused words. Dingus is another one that I think isn't used near enough.  :lol1:

I personally do not think you can compare the internet to a book. it's entirely different in the fact that people don't worship it or revere it as golden poop. what The internet is, is a tool. I know this because you can use it anyway you want.

You can't use a book in a similar way. Unless its a math book, or something with absolute truths. The problem as I see it is people would rather be sentimental and traditional than have anything to do with common sense which to me, makes no sense.

I'm not trying to act like the one free thinker or man, (scrapheap) but, common. do you really need the constitution? or the bible?
Of course you don't. You want these things because people are traditional and sentimental beings

That is it you guys. ok

Personally, yes I would burn all books. even ones that are strickly factual based, why? because some idiot will try turning it into a religion, and then ultimately a constitution in the future!  :zoinks:

I would suggest that we DO need a constitution and a defined system of laws, AS a unified people rejecting all that is wrong with the past, AND because of the fact that random PEOPLE are known to be generally unpredictable.

AS far as the Bible; we need to keep it around to make sure the mistakes of those times remain in the past. Fact or fiction, Who cares anymore!?!  Keep it alongside Homer, Dante, Steven King, Walt Whitman, Louis Carroll, (George Lucas??) and a million other amazingly inspiring authors, Poets, artists who have already changed this world.

Study each ones changes made to the world and decide again if we should actually just chuck it all and begin again.


I say WE, as a people, learn again what it means to make mistakes, hold each one accountable for those indiscretions that affect others, and move on with a great deal of knowledge of ourselves for the nearly insurmountable task of making a better future for ALL of us.

Are you talking about anarchy, Richard? Maybe you should clarify a bit.

Democracy is a choice, so doesn't it tell you to be democratic? I relies I'm being nitpicky about shit but just try trampling on the constitution and people will start having their periods, infact I don't think there really is a wrong way to govern people. its all become aquired tastes however to not obviously, for instance hang people from trees.  :zoinks:

But on a more important note, I think you will find our brand of democracy telling other people around the world how to live. so there is your answer

I'm not really talking about Anarchy, as I relies some system has to be set up and total anarchy doesn't seem the best fit for this modern age. I'm just more amazed at how traditional and sentimental people really are, they value it more than anything even if it is a lie. that's all

Its only recently become a true lie. If you're saying that democracy no longer exists and the constitution is being ignored on a daily basis by the majority of government officials, you'd be right.

There is something that can be done about that, however. They likely aren't taking too much stock in the chronicles if I2, but petitions and protests still seem to have some effect.

It's because it's in competition with other pieces of paper called "corporate charters"

The original Constitution isn't written on paper.

I read that in a book. :zoinks:
