That's interesting. But I don't see the connection.
Could you point it out for me?
It’s just an excuse to avoid the truth of the reality we actually live in.
Whatever you envision the reality we actually live in to be, how have I lied (avoided the truth) about the nondelegation doctrine, or about the fact that creating hundreds of unelected government agencies with plenary power over the people is being fascistic? How is that all an "excuse"?
Not 13 colonies and it. 2.5 million people and but 50 states and there. 334.9 million citizens. (2023)
Did the "truth" of the nondelegation doctrine embedded in the Constitution become a lie with the addition of every new state? Or with the addition of every new citizen? Do statehood and the elements of humanity change in their basic nature as they become more numerous? Should we write a new Constitution or create a different form of government every time the population grows?
The "truth of the reality we live in" constantly changes in some way on a daily basis. One day a man is a man. The next day a man is a woman. The next day that's bunk. Is there no constant? Just total constant change? How is it possible to even have a state, a defined government, a defined human being, under such conditions?
So far, as I can see, humans have not gone through some basic evolutionary change since the time of the 13 colonies. Sure, there are the superficial surface changes in standards of living, cultural shifts, boundary changes, and so forth. But basic humanity, its physical and even metaphysical needs are pretty much the same, just different names and places. But the basic needs to be nourished, to be loved, to have fellowship, to procreate, to have family, and to have a personal amount of freedom and autonomy within a predictable, stable, society in which to flourish remain a constant.
And, as far as I can see, the original US Constitution still remains as one of the most viable governmental systems in which to achieve those basic needs.
But we’ve had this discussion before. Let’s move on..
"Let's move on" . . . to where? I hear that mantra, quite often . . . and it usually seems to be an "excuse" to escape from the "truth of the reality we live in" . . . into an undefined relief from the reality of a monotonous unbending "constitution" or other, or to justify the legal machinations of a preferred political party . . . Constitution, human nature, individual freedom, be damned . . .
and i actually I would rather have this conversation in person.. because I honestly can’t compete with your writing skills. And that’s not being sarcastic.. it’s a compliment
