People talk about the constitution like it's a holy grail, but the constitution basically set up a republic with three basic and simple laws, you could not kill someone except in self defense, you could not steal (but it was a debtors not a criminal issue if you did) and you could not committ treason.
People talk about the various amendments to the constitution to like they are the holy grail, but the truth is that over 600,000 laws have been added to the United States Codes since 1781, so that simple, plain original document has been stipulated 600,000 ways to date, and more every day.
It's impossible because of so many laws to know them all in their totality, and in reality all those 600,000 stipulations to the Constitution render the constitution itself a meaningless museum piece.
The spirit of the constitution and its functionality has long ago been completely and utterly destroyed and its more than evident when you look at the state of our union.
When the nation started out there were really 3 basic constitutional

Precisely my point! Your insistence on relying on fallacious arguments to derail a thread is off topic, but you are here anyway, making a total fool of yourself.
I am not aware of a campaign that I have undertaken. I have once suggested moving this thread and have once reinforced my rationale for doing so. Please do not exaggerate my actions into a campaign being undertaken when I have in no way "campaigned", only suggested once and reinforced that suggestion once.

I would also like to make an earnest appeal to the moderators to have this thread transferred to the HOAX section immediately. Should the disinformation and irrational statements of Proto be followed by readers of this thread they could suffer penalties prescribed under the law regarding the Census. I feel it is in the best interest of anyone reading this site that this thread be labeled as a hoax to help keep otherwise good people from suffering needless but valid criminal prosecution for violating the laws pertaining to the Census.
Now if we can stop this back and forth off topic discussion and revert back to focusing on the topic of the thread I think both of us would find greater measures of success in our mutual postings.
