but therein lies the problem with the way people think.....or not think for that matter. Back then, the people knew that THEY were in control and if THEY needed to change things in the constitution, then they did. Nowadays, people are lazy, stupid, and apathetic. Instead of thinking and doing for themselves, they just want government to handle it. That attitude is what has allowed the government to control our lives instead of us controlling theirs. We need to take that back from them if we want to remain free.
