What if........

Let's play "what if..."

What if the founding fathers could see the state of America today? Would they still create the Constitution and Bill of Rights as it exists today?

Suppose I went back in time and brought information (assuming I could prove it to them) about certain things they were setting up.

-If I showed them the bullshit that was "Bong Hits for Jesus" and explained how some punk kid felt that it was "protected free speech," would they have second thoughts about the First Amendment? I bet they'd leave out the free press part if I showed them a few celebrity mags! *LOL*
**side note** ya know, when I was in grade school and first heard about the free press thing, I thought it meant that newspapers were suppose to be given away for free and they were breaking the law by selling them. *LOL* silly me ^_^

-What if I showed them statistics of crime? Would they NOT create the second amendment? Then again, I could show them how gun ownership in fact DETERS crime, them maybe they might make THAT one the first amendment. I wonder if I could convince them to make gun ownership a requirement? hmmm.

-Here's a good one. I go back and show the FFs that politicians in the present are concerned more about their re-elections then serving the public good. Maybe I can convince them to create term limits right off the bat. And it would need to apply to ALL levels of Government. From the fed level all the way down to city and lower if there is such a thing. 2 terms, 5 years each. If you can't get shit done in 10 years you have no business being in power.

-Then I'd convince these people to create a federal sales tax to collect money for the gubment. Think about it. No income tax EVER! Sales tax is the only fair tax there is because everybody has to pay it.

Let's see what else.....?
Oh this will grind some gears in people *heh heh heh*
I would make it so that the Fed DOES establish a religion. No joke. I'd do it! The country was founded by mostly Christians anyway, so Christianity would be the ONLY established religion. All it's off shoots would be allowed since it's all the same God (even though the morons in North Ireland don't seem to get that but that's for another entry).
BUT, no laws would be made how to worship God. Worship however you feel like. Or don't worship, wouldn't matter. I'd also allow the Jewish religion since Christianity evolved from Jewish faith.

- Oh yes, the sixth and seventh amendments have got to go. When I show the FFs how jury selection is done today I KNOW they will agree. I went for jury selection once and I swear, they make sure the dumbest motherfuckers get picked. Here I am all dressed decent like, college degree, a resonable amount of intelligence if I do say so myself, and who gets picked for duty? These nasty looking redneck dumb fucks who barely have a funtioning brain cell between them. This one girl looked like she was a prostitute. One moron couldn't even read the signs in the room. HE got picked.
So no more jury trials. At least not as they are today. Trial by a judiciary board only. People who at least know the fucking law! Then maybe there won't people getting 6 billion dollars because he used a curling iron to curl his pubic hair or something and burned his dick off.

That's enough gryping about this kind of thing for now I think
