TOO much Government?

[potthole]

So... slavery wasn't banned to begin with in the Constitution, does that mean we should go back and allow it once more?

The one thing that makes me so mad is when slavery is thrown in to validate a point.

Especially when all you need is about 30 seconds to research the 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery on December 6, 1865, making the entire argument of "it's not in the Constitution, so should we bring it back" pretty much pointless.

I never said that the outlawing of slavery isn't part of the Constitution. I know damn well that the 13th banned it, and I knew that without having to do any research.

The way I was interpreting some of the posts made was that some individuals were under the feeling that once a law is written, it shouldn't be changed. Which is why I brought up the slavery issue.

Also, never did I accuse anybody of being a racist, so please don't put those words into my mouth.
