The Constitution: The Declaration of Enslavement

   The Constitution is usually held up next to the Declaration of Independence as being its equal in spiritual and ethical majesty. In fact the Constitution is the opposite of the Declaration of Independence in that it is a declaration of enslavement. It declares the people who freed themselves from England were now enslaved by America. Why the people who freed themselves from England thought it necessary to attach themselves to a new set of chains is something no one has ever inquired about since no one seems to have a problem with Americans being re-enslaved so long as the re-enslavement was not at the hands of the English government. I personally believe that England sighed a sigh of relief when America set its Constitutional  apparatus into operation since it bore so close a resemblance to the British government with the oddity of the bill of "rights" the only new wrinkle. However I am sure that once the British actually read the nature of the "rights" they laughed and chuckled to themselves that the Americans had sold their freedom and liberty hard won for ten trifles, trifles which in a few cases are cleverly phrased to hide what they really contain: some screaming nightmares. Fortunately for the nightmares nobody actually reads the Constitution and so they are content to believe that the bill of "rights" is something actually..........something actually something. I really don't know what to call what Americans think the bill of "rights" actually is. I guess they think it's some sort of bill of rights.
