Default Re: New Constitutional Convention

[ QUOTE ]
Are you suggesting that it is reasonable to support something that I don't want, on the grounds that it is more likely to have an impact?

No. My original question (perhaps poorly phrased) was not intended to hear what everyone would want, it was more to hear what people think would actually happen. Basically, I wanted to see some political theory mixed with political reality.

I think, unlike the founders, we are exceptionally short-sighted. Myopia coupled with current events would lead to many changes in the Constitution that, in my opinion, would be bad. I'm curious to know what changes people think would be made.
