9/17/2008 - Constitution Day

Exactly 221 years ago, on 9/17/1787, our Constitution was signed and became the law of the land. So while we are bashing each other this election season, let's take a little time out to celebrate this day, on which the grand experiment in representational democracy was launched. America may have its problems, but it is still a nation like no other. That is worth celebrating.

Constitution Day web site is here.

If only those that claim they are constitutional originalists would stop trampling over our constitution and injecting it with their theocratic crap.

Well, the non-rancorous commemoration of the day lasted longer than I thought it would, anyway.

Ah yes, the Constitution: the document which legalized the conversion of an individual slave to 3/5 of a free man.

God bless America.
