At 86 I have a different focus on the Constitution than just concept of ' Rights'. Our Government based on the Constitution and Declaration of Independence was created according to the Faith and Moral Philosophy of Christianity that defined those who created, defined and wrote those documents that resulted in the formation of US as a society and Nation. A concept that is essential to the protection of the defined 'Rights' and Republic is the third 'R', Responsible.

As the imperfect being that I am, I do not pretend to know the answer to your question as I am only 84 1/2 years old and still looking for the right question to ask. I have been blessed in achieving the two goals that I first came to realize when I was nine. An MD was achieved and allowed me to be useful for many years.

When we married we hoped for five years, but God gave us six when her Parkinson's degenerated into death.

The person to whom I refer was Edwin Witte, the campaign manager for Robert Lafollette's run for President on the Progressive ticket in 1924. Subsequently, Witte was the Bill Writer for the Wisconsin Legislature until FDR brought him to DC to write the Bills that would introduce Socialism to US
