The beginning

Today is Saturday, February 26, 2011. This is my first posting. I would like to share a thought. I have a job in which there is very little talking. So, I tend to think about things in which have caught my interest. Tonight at work I had a thought, that since we are a country based on the constitution, why not try to convince some people to read our constitution, out loud, in public, on the courthouse square on the 4th of July. It seems that most of us have read it once in school. Maybe, had to memorize the preamble for class. But, in all, have WE really read it or listened to what it says. We are told this and that about what it says. Why don't we read it once in a while for all to hear? It wouldn't take a great orator to read. Perhaps the mayor of  town, a citizen, a student from your local school. Whom ever it is does not matter. The point is, what do we know of it?

  1. I agree. Maybe the politicians should be required to pass a test on the Constitution before they can run for office!
