Why is there any debate?

After reading an editorial in the Indy Star by Andrea Neal, Back to the Same Old Debate, at http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs/dll/article?AID+/20071121/ColumnistS05/71121334/1002/OPINION I realized just how far off track some states have gone. I have always believed that America was singularly blessed by God Almighty when he provided that a small group of men from different backgrounds, educations, professions, and religions came together in a specific moment in time, working together to create an unheard-of form of government based on individual freedoms and run by a people who chose to govern themselves. All of the main rules are laid down in our Constitution which has stood the test of time and it has had many a severe test.

Now, almost every day, some self important idiot who believes he/she is more intelligent or more visionary than the collective intelligence of the men that put this nation together insists that he/she can "fix" it. Personally, I don't understand what needs to be fixed. According to these people everything is "broken" - the government, immigration policy, schools, etc. But are they really broken, or just not seen to as a nation of self governing people should do?

A change in the Constitution of this magnitude, led by the minority majority states, is an example of slipping into Third World status, elections decided only by direct majority vote. We all know how those elections are run. Why would these people want to emulate anything that happens in the Third World? Power some would say, but what are the "leaders" in the Third World powerful over? Millions of starving, sick and frustrated people, some natural resources they themselves can't develop or keep going without foreign help, and maybe their military, if they're lucky, is with them some of the time. Big Deal....

I hope the people of Indiana have the good sense to not go along with this folly and stop voting for people based on their genetics rather than their ability in politics.
