The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Perhaps we should all paste and copy this 28th amendment and email or mail it to our government officials.

Great "ammendment" - but changing the constitution of the United States isn't that easy ... and this was just a proposal.  Do you really think the current occupants of Congress and Pennsylvania Ave will REALLY allow this to come for a vote?

Fact is, no one in Washington needs to approve of this.  That is one way, but the other way is that 2/3 of the states have to pass it as a law.

If the amendment was put on every ballot in every state as a referendum it would probably pass especially with the mood the whole country is in right now.

I just found this link, which explains the ways that the Constitution can be amended.  I'll be honest, there's more ways than I thought.
