Comments on Sandy's Part D

I like the way you elaborated on your favorite question. You mention what you believe the main aspects of AWOL are. But i noticed that you left out one major aspect, MONEY until further in the question. I liked also how you cited the amendments you referred to. Do you think that money trumps education? Also I'm not sure i agree that congress is closest to the people. I like your thoughts on it, but i can't help but to think that nothing in the government is close to the people. Do you honestly think that people have any say in the government? and if they wanted to they might even be able to make some sort or change in the constitution?. When i talked to you, we spoke about amending the constitution. I said that i would involve all races and genders and anything else in the constitution and not just throw them in the amendments. What caught my attention was when you said that "values were different then and what they included in the constitution was what they believed in at the time. and when the values changed, there were changes made to the document". I agree with that, because i can see how if at a certain point in time you believe in one thing, then values change, you add it to what you believe in. Thus the amendments. What do you think about the time gap between the 12th and 13th amendment? I also noticed that you believe that the constitution connects to daily life, do you think people live more by the book or do you think they do what they want?
