"The U.S. Constitution has 4,400 words. It is the oldest and shortest written Constitution of any major government in the world."
and for some reason it's still not fully understood by anyone in government and is constantly being interpreted and reinterpreted and explained and re-explained in ways contrary to the original explanations and is "living" and changing and yet resolute and final and eternal and simple to understand and yet complex and needing of micro-examining and honing and deciding and re-deciding and declaring and molding and shaping and did i say interpreting? why it's almost mystical and chimerical, this amazing piece of rules and regulations written by a committee of British-loving homesick bureaucrats half drunk with sudden power and not-so-sudden bourbon. Hillsdale College makes millions "teaching" this Instruction Sheet For Bureaucrats all the while insisting its somehow actually talking to you. it isn't. it's talking to your owners. it's written for bureaucrats. it's not written for you. if you are mentioned at all its only by whimsical accident which is being constantly looked at for ways to remove them quietly and without incident.
