My goal is not to be critical of our Constitution or our government. But,
I would like to see it function better. We may not wish to be polititians,
but isn't it sufficient to acknowledge that we have the best Constitution
in the world. Triadic government of millions cannot be surpassed. To be
sure, it can be improved. The Constitution was crafted at a time when
language was not suspect or, at least we can say when the so-called
Linguistic Turn did not exist, as such. There were issues of semantics.
But, we did not have issues of reference. The map and the territory
were not that far apart. Now, the map occupies one domain, the territory
another, and never shall the twain meet. Language has always been
manipulated, but it's reference to something other than itself had never
been so severely questioned. Today, language is non-correspondant,
it's practically useless!? How can that be? I don't buy that, and to quote
Richard Rorty, "lets keep the conversation going".  
       The other issue is that of Big Money. Of course, some of The
Founding Fathers were rich. Yet, they helped formulate a Constitution
of people, of equality and freedom. The abstract nature of the top
comes with the territory. The real nature of the bottom is the territory.
So, lets keep the conversation going to help bring about a democratic
community.
