I agree with the author. I think it's important for a country to have a set of shared beliefs, and that the idea that the Bill of Rights is more than just a legal document is a very good starting place for the US. This appears to be an unpopular opinion on HN, though.
- happytoexplain 6y agoWhile I think the author is very unreasonable, I think your framing of the argument is reasonable (though I disagree strongly that it would be good for society to extend the Bill of Rights beyond the legal realm, rather than addressing the problem via some other avenue). However, I think you should avoid couching your opinion in the passive aggressive armor of the brave underdog (your last sentence).
