   If you truly believe that, you know what to do.  Quitcherbitchin in   
   newsgroups, get out there and use your best efforts to get your   
   precious constitutional amendment ratified.  Nobody's stopping   
   you.  In fact, I encourage you to try.  Let us know how it works   
   out for you.
