"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
This is the first of a series of short films intended to promote awareness of our endangered Constitution by discussing or illustrating it article by article. I've just begun to learn video editing, and so I expect these films will become more sophisticated as I progress trhough the articles.

IRAN is our ENEMY. ... ( 10 months ago by wblower)

IRAN is our ENEMY. They treat women like women and children like garbage if they don't obey the ruling men. They stone people to death in their streets. They threaten other nations with terrorism and destruction (Israel, America, and anyone not embracing Islam). They are training and carrying arms to kill US Soldiers in IRAQ to expand the war. I say F IRAN, bunker bust their nuclear facilities and kiss our ass. With holding oil , and not reselling only put's IRAN is greater harm.

America is run from London. America is a pawn to be sacrificed to Iran's allies, Russia and China.

don't believe everything the government tells you. Iraq is resulting in a small-scale loss of life compared to other wars, but if we invade Iran, beleive me, it will be much worse than Vietnam ever was.

Israel likud/zionists are committing Crimes Against Humanity which makes them the enemy of mankind.
USA is hated for its unethical/unlawful sponsorship of Israel Crimes Against Humanity. International Law likewise has to apply to everyone or it means nothing.

It would seem to be ... ( 8 months ago by AnteaterOne)

It would seem to be that it isn't Israel committing crimes against humanity, but these so called "Islamic" governments that deprive their people of liberty, education, and hope. As a result, they turn to violence and religious zealotry, which is not Islamic as taught in the Koran. Israel has committed many wrongs, but it did not cause the mass poverty in the Arab world or the high level of illiteracy, especially among women. Israel did not impose authoritarian regimes on the Arab people.

I say we get Bill to read that so called constitution to our own govenment, who also seem to have skewed the words into their favor.

Guess what we did, ... ( 8 months ago by clarisd)

Guess what we did, sold them the weapons, to all sides, and you don't know recent History as well. We as a country have been invol, in all internal and external wars around the Globe, why for the money and you should check out the History of just what we have been doing, See vid about the CIA and Economic hitman and find out,I was USM 24yrs and until I meet a former CIA, I had no problem with doing my duty. But we are a dumbed down Nation and we reap what we sow. Educate yourself.

If that's a sincere question, United States Marine.... But if it's an attempt at being cute, well it just makes you look like a loser... See Economic Hitman and then know that we arm all sides and we use whatever means ness....

This is campy and ... ( 8 months ago by capousa)

This is campy and fun to watch, but we are still talking Gene Roddenberry's vision of everybody under the UN umbrella as the solution for peace on Earth.
Yangs and Coms (Yankees and Communists) do not have the same concept of what "We the People" translates to in a working model of LIMITED government. I see trouble ahead.

I don't understand. Is this the preamble? Or is it Star Treak? someone please tell me.

It wasn't ... ( 8 months ago by CPofVirginia)

It wasn't originally "We the people..." as that was a substitute. It was supposed to be a listing of the various states who sent delegates to the Convention, but they didn't want to list all of them out because they weren't sure which of the states would ratify the Constitution. It was the states, not the people in the aggregate, who created the Federal government.

Yes, he did consider the UN a good idea, so long as it upheld American values of limited government and freedom for all. He considered local and cultural pride to be just as important as personal freedoms.

"We the People" ... ( 7 months ago by capousa)

"We the People" begins the preamble to the Constitution. The Constitution was produced by a "Meeting of the States" which got out of control and became our nation's first and only Consitutional Convention. Several of the states having ratified the Constitution on the condition that other "declartory and restrictive" clause be added, the Bill of Rights was born - #10 of which says, "powers not delegated to the United States...are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The Federation is a sure thing; after all everyone in America lives spits and breathes the spirit of the Constitution... Why we'll have a fleet of Constitution class cruisers at the ready just as soon as the next generation comes to bear... ahead of Roddenberry's timetable as Kirk's crew is ahead of these shnores.

Of course William Shattner is a Canadian... (which means less constitutional freedoms but a better living standard and freedom to be yourself without the government dictating your sex life or your religion as it does in America)

Quite possibly Kirk's most hamfisted moment in the history of "Star Trek," and that's saying something!
