And no, you haven't proposed that this "situation be corrected via the Constitution". Instead you are proposing tearing down the existing constitution and replacing with a Libertarian fantasy that you refuse to examine in detail because it cannot withstand scrutiny.
I fear I have to disagree with that. Foxfyre has put his proposals, Libertarian fantasy or no, out there to be examined, shot down or supported, and he mostly does a tremendous job of defending his turf. Does he want his thinking and convictions reflected in the Constitution? Of course, who wouldn't? It wasn't any different back then, 250 years ago. Of course, if any Constitution were to be written today, it would be a compromise between all the ideological factions that make up the political landscape of the U.S. of A. (which also is a major reason why I hope none will be written and ratified - in the real world - these days).
If we achieve nothing here other than exercising our minds, thinking about "Constitution", the foundation of the Republic, for a few hours, and if we find nothing more what a tremendous document this was and still is, and what an enormous effort it would take to put something in writing that would match any aspect thereof, I'd say, praise to Foxfyre, more power to him. Compared to most of the rest of this asylum... er, forum, even more so.
