It has just come to our the attention that there is a move afoot to revise the Preamble to the Constitution to bring it more into keeping with modern times.
We,
the lawyers and politicians of the United States,
in order to form a more
confused
Union,
reinterpret justice,
prevent domestic tranquility,
subvert the common
defense,
reconfigure the general welfare,
and secure the blessings of prosperity to
ourselves,
particularly,
and our personal posterity,
do restrain and embellish this
Constitution for the
United States of America.
Perhaps Sam Donaldson and his colleagues will be able to explain the changes to the public's satisfaction. Clearly, the original was outmoded and offensively simplistic. Now we can have a sophisticated modern version more in keeping with the realities of our daily lives.
