I found this interesting. Maybe you will too.

The video info:
"On December 6th, 2011, Los Angeles became the first major U.S. city to call for an amendment reserving Constitutional rights solely for living human beings."

It is interesting, but in the way that a red herring is engineered to be interesting. The Constitution is, on its face, neither a compact, nor a contract, nor any other sort of binding document. It is merely a statement of intention, made among the elite of the day "we the people", of how they planned to "provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty, to ourselves and our posterity". It is essential to remember that the men meeting were some of the richest of the rich on this continent. When they said "we" and "our", they weren't thinking of the poor dirt farmers. How do I know that? Because they did not explicitly include the poor dirt farmers. Brevity may be the soul of wit, but clarity is the soul of writ. Up to that day, the poor had never been included in the privileged class to which opportunity and prosperity "belonged". If that is to change, it can only be changed by explicit inclusion of all of humanity in a new kind of social contract.

Furthermore, the Constitution is framed in fantastical terms, creating ideas such as "legislative powers" and "executive authority" of states, which themselves are mere constructs of human thought; dead golems moved like puppets by the hands of men and nowadays women who are your equal in authority (at best) before Ø.

The Constitution, as all previous "legal" documents, subrogates the ultimate human rights of self-ownership and self-determination.

Hey, thanks for the response. I enjoyed reading it. I'm interested to know how you feel about this new video. It's Sen. Sanders suggesting a constitutional amendment regarding the whole "a corporation is not a person" philosophy. I mean, It's a long way from actually voting in the amendment, but, again, another "interesting" video.

Sorry, I couldn't sit through the whole video.

It's just more Ego trying to convince itself that It is that which wields power. No good can come from abdicating your own duty to yourself to take full responsibility for your experience, especially when that involves trusting another human being.

"He who puts his trust in man is accursed".

Gotta quote Gordon Sumner again...

"There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution.
Have no faith in constitution.
There is no bloody revolution.
We are spirits in the material world."
