| Here's a conversation starter - does it need updating? I know we've had amendments, but does it need more? Can we expect that a document created 225 years ago in a completely different economy and global conditions should be adequate for today's times? Although I doubt we could ever agree on the changes. |

| My rule for any and all amendments : That they each may grant a freedom, but never take one away. ...and that's a lot of candles. |
