Washington DC might be getting close to having a vote in Congress. Ok. I can see the merit in that. They pay taxes, participate in commerce, have courts like every other state even though they are not a state by the Constitution. Should something change? Sure I think it should.

BUT...

This post is not about that. It's about a comment made in an article relating to this pending vote in Congress. This is from the Associated Press.

You have to go to the bottom of the page and read the last paragraph and the last sentence -

"It's a shame a sophisticated country as America is bound by something that was written eons ago," she said.

EXCUSE ME???? It's a shame we are bound by something that was written eons ago?? HEEELLLLLOOOO!?!?!? Do you enjoy your freedom? Do you enjoy your right to worship as you please? Do you enjoy your right to a trial by your peers? Do you enjoy your right to free speech? Do you enjoy your right to own your own property and things?

The "something" is the Constitution of the United States of America. It means your freedom. It is what makes this country unlike any other country in the world. Are you saying we should just throw it out because it "was written eons ago"?
