Why is foreign aid allowed to continue when it is not allowed by the Constitution? (I could go on and on.....)
Isn't there a gap between "not allowed" and "disallowed"? The Constitution couldn't possibly have foreseen the problems of today, and the global role the US plays (or seeks to).

That's like saying the Bible is outdated because it was written several thousand years ago. If the law must change debate it, vote on it, and implement it. Don't circumvent it! I mean should we take away free speech because more people lie today than ever before in history? Or should we take away our religous rights because of the David Koresh's of the world? Should we take away the guns of the people because less than 30,000 people a year die of gunfire? (less than .01% of the nation!) Should we take away the double jeopardy clause just because O.J. Simpson *IS* guilty? Seth
