- Imnimo 5y agoIf they wanted to "essentially donate" it, they could just donate it. And if museums are jumping at the chance, they could have arranged it ahead of time.
- rndmind 5y agothis whole project is organized by a bunch of kids for fun, chill out and relax your butt cheeks dude
- jimkleiber 5y agoI can't speak for other Americans, but as much as I try to see this as "organized by a bunch of kids for fun," I also feel a strong emotional attachment to the Constitution and an original copy of it. So I try to balance that "cool experiment" with "wait, what are they doing with a sacred document?" I say it genuinely, I feel torn by the excitement at the experiment and frustrated/angry at what seems to almost be a parody of the Constitution itself.
- rndmind 5y agoI think of it as a homage to the U.S. constitution actually. I respect your sentiment as it seems we are both coming from the same perspective. I, however, look at this not as a parody, but an incredible tribute and homage o the U.S. constitution.... If it brings attention to the constitution and bill of rights, so much the better. Besides, they will feature it in a public museum ( presumably ) so they will honor it and preserve it.
- jimkleiber 5y agoI guess for me, homage to the document would be people hunkering down to debate philosophies on how to structure governance to balance powers between a lower and higher level. I could see maybe how it was showing more respect for the document, I guess I just wish it went a lot deeper.
