It's Officially Okay To Dominate People

To many Americans, the Constitution represents freedom--the pinnacle of thought concerning government.

Brushing aside that it's grown to the largest, most destructive government in history, please consider the following:

1) The Constitution is a warning label. Its entire purpose is to restrain the ruling class. The fact that it exists is caution that people will rule over others and try to abuse that power.
2) It's written on parchment, which is generally animal skin. Never human skin of course. Coincidentally, nothing in the document protects the forests, rivers, animals, oceans, etc. It's a bunch of instructions on how to rule the weak.

I laugh at those who have this notion that somehow, if we just get back to the Constitution, everything will be okay. But... Wasn't it written by a bunch of white, rich slave owners? How could that possibly be egalitarian? Giving permission for one group to rule and dominate another was/is a disaster and was doomed to fail before the ink dried.
