"The violent destruction of life and property incident to war, the continual effort and alarm attendant on a state of continual danger, will compel nations the most attached to liberty to resort for repose and security to institutions which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights. To be more safe, they at length become willing to run the risk of being less free."
Alexander Hamilton, Federalist #8

Amen. Maybe if we could just, you know, follow the original Constitutional plan...
Wouldn't it be grand? It's not like it's difficult to read. Okay, it can be a little difficult, but not a bit of it is more convoluted than the second amendment, and everybody in America seems to have an opinion about that, so the rest should be a cakewalk.
