@OmSigDAVID,
That's a matter of opinion.

@izzythepush,
Is it your opinion that u can parse specific grammatical text
of your Constitution better than we can? or as well as we can ?

David is a devoté of the idea of American exceptionalism, for not better reason than that it flatters his rather simple-minded vanity. It is just as foolish to believe that all things American are superior as it is to believe that all things American are evil.

@Setanta,
I don t believe that all things American are superior.

There is probably something somewhere in the world
that is superior to something that we have.

If there were a constitution of government elsewhere
that is more libertarian than ours, then I 'd probably prefer it n seek to emulate it here.

@djjd62,
It's a good thing I had my shirt and shoes on, because I used Tom Horton's restroom in Halifax without any problems!

Who is Tom Horton, and why would you just wander in off the street thinking you had a right to use his facilities?

@Setanta,
Tom Horton is a chain of restaurants in Canada. I met their service requirement; wearing a shirt and shoes.

Tim Horton was, of course, a famous hockey player 50 years ago. You seem to have forgotten that i live in Canada.

@Setanta,
You asked the question; I answered. It does not matter to me who Tim Horton was.

@cicerone imposter,
The great world traveler displayed his typical ignorance--but you didn't answer the question. I doubt that you went into a "Tom" Horton's anywere in Canada.

@Setanta,
Tim Horton was a hockey player and a major drinker. When he died the company was stolen from his widow.

Theres a Tim Horton anywhere you look in Canada. Not great but good enough and dependably consistent.

Yes. Setanta speaks the truth.

No. There is functional VALUE
in constricting, curtailing, degrading & strangling the domestic jurisdiction of government.
That value is the promotion of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY, at the expense
of governmental authority. The jurisdiction of government is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to personal freedom.
That value exceeds my vanity; that is a "better reason" as u put it.

By meticulously parsing the text of the Instrument of its creation,
we have succeeded in constricting and repressing USURPATIONS
of fake jurisdiction of government. That has been government's Achilles' heel.

In support of your assertion,
I offer the disgrace of the last 2 presidential elections.
