The author is an idiot. The article is stupid. The people in favor of it are ignorant beyond belief.

I am mostly happy with our constitution. I would rather have the ancient document... think of the alternative... throwing out something that has worked for hundreds of years and relying on incompetent powerhungry government to draft another one. No fucking thank you.

Exactly.  Can you imagine the people in power right now drafting a new Consitution?  Oh my God.  I wouldn't even trust them to drive my kid's to safely to school, let alone re-interpret the Bill of Rights.

you just need to look at the fiscal cliff, patriot act, and many other instances of the last 20 years to realize this is a terrible terrible idea.
