Three Things to Ponder

with a hat tip to Neptunus Lex
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
Cows - Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that, when investigating Mad Cow disease, our government can track a single cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
The Constitution - They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don’t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we’re not using it anymore.
The Ten Commandments - The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery”, and “Thou Shall Not Lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA that is brilliant.
We can track illegals but our elected elite don't want to.
Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you. Washington Elected Elite
If you look at the Colonial charters and English common law our constitution was taking them to the next level. Most of the states had a robust legal infrastructure, property rights that consisted of more than a guy with a gun, and representative parliamentary bodies. They also had implicit separations between the judicial, legislative and executive branches. Some for well over a century before the revolution.
Iraq hasn't.
