the part that's still relevant

I know this is an exercise on my favorite part but if I may, I will go slightly go off topic. First I ll start with a quote.

"some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the Covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment... laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind... as that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, institutions must advance also, to keep pace with the times.... We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain forever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors." - Thomas Jefferson

So while I have the utmost respect for the founding fathers, I am afraid that my conservative friends are missing the point. Read it on the floor all you want, but don't stifle progress and knowledge in the name of nostalgia for a time that is forever gone.
