I do tend to forget that I'm not writing this just for my family anymore. Please stop by again and always feel free to post a comment.

Sometimes it seems that these guys make it up as they go along.

If there is ever confusion about the meaning or intent of this amendment, benefit of the doubt shall be given to the protection of to private property. We might as well say it openly so that future generations will be sure of its meaning. That’s not bad, but it should also include a statement to the effect:

But the first part "Tax on all property, real and personal, except as income or on sale or transfer, above one-tenth of one percent per annum shall be prohibited." - what is that supposed to limit? Income, sales and transfer (eg inheritance) are just about all our taxes, I guess property taxes are above and beyond that, on homes? Well, I would be in favor the amendment, though it should not be required and I would rather it stricter in limiting taxes. Nice.

I will admit that it is harder to keep up with U.S. issues as an expatriate in the Asia-Pacific area; however, I think you exaggerate when you call me "stunningly uninformed" because I'm not familiar with "the direction that the right of individuals to own property is taking" back home. Are you stunningly uninformed of the global distribution of your readership? If not, then I'd suggest you've never tried keeping abreast of U.S. issues while living overseas. It's not easy; but I am trying. Yours truly, Rick Smothermon Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Sir, I don’t consider myself stunningly uninformed.

Its time to hang some judges. While the proposed amendment is good what use is it when you have five senile Leftwingnuts who use the existing Constitution for toilet paper?
