re: #263 KGxvi

One of the reasons I always laugh at the “we need a constitutional convention” arguments that usually come from the right is that the last time we had one to “make minor changes” we got an entirely new constitution. And that was after like 15 years. It’s been 200+ now, the idea that we wouldn’t end up with a very different system is sort of ridiculous.

While we’re doing all this constitutional conventioning, we might well ask why a country this size needs 51+ states to administer it, given 21st Cent technology an’ all. A dozen regions could better manage it.
