We have a Constitution in place that was created in 1787 to mediate the social, cultural and economic circumstances of 1787.
Fast forward to today, 2014. Most lawyer teams have figured out the loopholes in the laws, and that which they can't get around of they get from the politicians.
System is corrupt to its core.
Do you agree on a large, HUGE, constitutional amendment?
Hmm....interesting proposition.
I do believe laws become outdated and in nearly 250 years, times have certainly changed. What worked then, may be obsolete today. However, wholesale changes to our constitution scares me too. If we have amendments, they are hopefully never going to be one huge one, but more nuanced. It seems like a lot of folks hang on to the concepts set in place all those years ago despite that it is a different world today.
One might say the same thing about the bible. Here we have a book that many believe to be gospel and others, like me think is more folklore. That being said, there are concepts in the bible which are basic to humankind and how we should interact with one another. I am a big believer in "do onto others as you would have them do onto you" for example.
My concern is that we never throw out the baby with the bath water. Some things are worth changing, others worth eliminating altogether and many concepts are worth keeping as well.
