"The Constitution: It doesn’t need to be rewritten, - it needs to be reread". I have heard it said by some that this document should be "living" and evolve with us as we mature and evolve as a society of people. In other words, “it needs to change with the times”! I disagree!

This individual's email actually had the word APPROPRIATELY spelled in capital letters. The second individual wrote in and said, "raise taxes on the junk food companies because they make food taste good which forces us to eat it and yet it is bad for us". (They will one day raise prices on Junk Food, mark my words!) Honest, i'm not making this up!!!!! As to the first writer, i'm ASSUMING (I capitalized this word to make a point too) they think raising taxes APPROPRIATELY would not effect the average consumer - ergo, their use of the CAPS! In o...
