in practice it's a lot more difficult than that, amendments require unanimous agreement among the states (I think), which goes a long way to explain why there haven't been any in a long time -

becos politicians have ceased to represent the will of the people but of themselves. -

2018-07-22 at 6:35 PM UTCAll government should be banned and we should go back to the old ways. You stake your property, and if anyone comes onto it you blow their fucking heads off, then you bury them and go back to doing what you were doing. Keeps it simple and neat.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

ive discovered burying things isnt always the best idea. dumping it somewhere else is always more productive. -

Okay, awesome. Then me and 25 other guys will come to the conclusion that if we pool together our guns and kill you and steal your shit, we will be better off. Then perhaps another group of 15 will realize it's not a good idea to fight us and maybe we should band up and start taking other people's shit. Over the course of time, we'll have some thousand people and will form a small municipality, where those of us who are tired of fighting can contribute economically in different ways, and certainly there are other functions that can be served to support our troops, and we will have rules against looting and murdering amongst our own group because it destroys our social order and unity, and we will still be reasonably free, but also free from violence this way. And certainly other people will have recognized the wisdom of banding up in other places. Perhaps we can form a pact where our surplus non-fighting productivity can be exchanged, and maybe once our relationships improve, we can see the wisdom in banding together with our neighbours who might share our ideals and cultures, and maybe this fusion process happens a couple of times more, and we start seeing the wisdom of banding together at a larger scale so our armed guys can focus on exterior threats and bolster themselves with the improved economic output from our union, as we will now have unimpeded trade within our union and a diversity of goods and services that we can focus on now that we are not in immediate military danger, and there is relative law and order.
Oh right. -

That would be pretty tough when I have a case of TNT planted in the front and back yard and you and your posse come moseying in and I blow you all to Kingdom Come. That's just before I open up with my Gatlin gun anchored and well-supplied in the attic steeple, and well before the twenty starved Rottweilers I let loose on your invading ass. A stupid man deserves to die. I'd be like waving to passersby... c'mom in! ... water's fine! .. and smiling... and people would be smart enough to just move along. -
