If I can muster up the patience to put up with movie quotes, farms and mafia announcements I will venture over to the old friendface and read up.

What I mean is that, if you read my piece on Facebook (which, don't feel obligated to of course) understand that my appeal to the Preamble is an appeal to intent, as people don't understand the intent or purpose of government. I don't consider myself a Constitutional expert by any means, but I do believe that the Constitution was put in place to keep anybody in the Federal Government from getting to much power and it should stay that way.

I have just written a piece myself on the hullaballoo about health care (or really health insurance) on my Facebook page. As the preamble to the Constitution is a statement of intent. A short declaration on what the purpose of the Constitution is to be, not a binding law in it's self nor a granting of powers. That was to be taken care of in the Articles themselves. My thoughts are that the large majority of people don't even know what the purpose of Government is. They don't even know why they have the opinions they do. They just jump on whatever bandwagon happens by first and is offering free drinks. As a result people get really defensive about things they know nothing about. I appreciate your writings because they are not bandwagony, they are your reasoned arguments based in sound understanding and analysis. Thanks.
