Today, the Constitution of the United States turns 222, which leads to the question: Is it time for end of life counseling? Will our Constitution be the first casualty of Obama’s Death Panels?
On this day in 1787, the United States enacted a living document which through the prism of common sense seems relatively clear, and the Founders’ intentions appear well spelled out; yet when looked at through the eyes of the self-interested and corrupt, can be easily manipulated, confused and muddled. Over the next few weeks (months?) I will be taking a common-sensical look at different parts of our Constitution, and applying them to what is happening in our country today.
In the meantime, enjoy this walk down memory lane.
Tragically, like All In The Family, I’m not sure that little piece of television history would be able to air today.
