Yep, Kirsten. Exactly.

We don’t need a new Constitution. Not here, not on Mars.

The question is whether we treat it as the Document which Constitutes us – as a people and a nation with governance defined – or do we revere it simply as an old relic, a museum piece no better or worse than mummies and dinosaur fossils.

Again, most folks don’t even understand the document, its purpose or its importance. And much of that has to do with language.

The Constitution should be YouTubed, along with a revisiting of the Federalist Papers, and all without actually using the words Constitution and Federalist Papers, executed by young Americans in contemporary conversational language.

If you don’t reach them, then it remains a living breathing whateverIneedittobe document, and governance and leaders will flounder until we don’t recognize what we’ve meandered to. We’re already dangerously close.
