Must Be The Rarified Air They Breath

Then you have a problem don't you ???
You have a system that condones animal abuse on Youtube ???
I could go on and on.....a movie star who wines and dines the enemy in Hanoi while your soldiers starve in a pit, a supermarket in Texas that posts a sign saying we're closed today in honour of a martyr who slammed in to the WTC. Gee LH...this is all getting to be pretty stoopid.
You know what your amendments need ??? A can of petrol and a cigarette lighter.

Condones animal abuse? No, just doesn't allow an openly broad view of who is to be held accountable for animal abuse.

Hanoi Jane wasn't protected by the constitution, no one had the cojones to prosecute.

The grocery store in Texas is free to open and close as they wish, and post whatever signs they deem good in the windows...however they are also free to deal with the consequences.

Who defines "public good ???
Normal decent people do.
Do we have to have a referendum to change a Constitutional law that was originally written some 200-300 years ago ??? I think not. I'm sure the framers of that Constitution or Bill of Rights that you refer to, never intended that your Freedom of Speech would include videos of animal cruelty.
Your Constitution should be interpreted in accordance with the times we live in, as ours is here in Australia. I'm sure a lot of people in your country would support that.....after all...the rest of the world recognises that your Freedom of Speech has run amok, and no longer supports the ideals of normal decent people.

Wow. Seriously?

Because basic human rights were affirmed on paper 200+ years ago makes them obsolete? Really? Then those dusty old Ten Commandments must be utterly, laughable useless then ... Thou shalt not kill, etc ... let's rewrite, amend and change them to fit the times, make them modern, huh? Yikes.

A well thought out constitution doesn't have to change constantly with trends, that's the brilliance of it. Right is always right, and wrong is always wrong.

And again ... who defines "normal" and "decent"? Are Catholics and Jews normal, decent folks? Not to some other religions. Are single mothers normal and decent? Not the some groups. How about homosexuals? Environmentalists? Minorities? Depends on who you are asking, doesn't it? Can you not see the simple truth ... you must apply justice to everyone equally, or it isn't justice at all.

Japanese-Americans were taken from their homes in WWII and placed in camps ...

That was wrong ????
Methinks that was right !!!!
