We're so fucking dumb, our very first amendment to the Constitution gives us the right "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." We should amend that so people wanting to band together for a given cause can get bent. How about that?

    The tolerance paradox had yet to materialise when that was written. Yes we should amend that to specify people, not corporations.

    And 'grievances' such as "I want all the money and yet I don't have it. Please fix this. Thx" should not be allowed to be lobbied for.

    Most of the constitution needs major work.
