  1. Amen to needing a refresher; some more than others.

    I do have a favor to ask — I comment here using the WordPress log in. Could you click on my ID and see where it takes you?
    I had someone recently claim they were getting 405 errors when trying to follow the link.

    • 405… that’s odd.

      I click on the graphic, and that takes me to the gravitar page… which isn’t much but it goes there.

      I click on the “3boxesofbs” and it takes me here:

      http://3boxesofbs.wordpress.com

      which seems to be a placeholder website with an “oops… I didn’t mean to do this” posting to redirect folks to your proper website.

      That what you needed?

      • Yes Sir.

        Thanks — Eideard, the blogger implementing “Reasoned Discourse” claimed that (s)he deleted my comments because of the 405 error. I tried and every link I clicked on took me to the word press blog. — My son set up my current blog in a weird way I can’t figure out but apparently if people wanted to find me they could.

        And back to the Constitution Day — maybe we could implement a law requiring public servants to pass a test on the Constitution. Administered this day every year, they have to get a 95% of better otherwise they are not allowed to run for that office again.

        • Huh. Go figure.

          As for your proposal, the problem is it’ll never pass… because they’re the ones that would have to vote on it, and I doubt they would. But of course, that in and of itself would be telling of their feelings on the matter, eh?

  2. I realize I’m a day late here, but yes read The Constitution -often. I would also encourage people to consider the oft cited “living document” paradigm and the ramifications of it if taken to its logical conclusion. Would anyone be satisfied with a “living insurance policy” or “living employment contract” if it meant the terms could be changed to fit the current circumstances?

    • It’s funny tho… people seem to only want to apply those arguments to the amendments they want to redefine or otherwise don’t like.
