Publishing Company Puts Warning Label on Constitution
Wilder Publication is under fire for putting warning labels on copies of historical US documents, including the Constitution. The label warns "This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today." From the article: "The disclaimer goes on to tell parents that they 'might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work.'"
I would direct you to the 1st Amendment and kindly request that you not ask others to STFU ;)
If it was written today, it would be a lot shorter.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
I would direct you to the 1st Amendment which grants the GP the right to kindly ask others to STFU and gives you the right to kindly request that the GP not ask others to STFU ;)

I would direct you to the second amendment, which says if you all don't STFU, something bad is gonna happen.

How dare you answer that question in concise, direct, thoughtful, and non-inflammatory terms! Gah!
TFA said it was one of the documents a warning label was put on. Also not being american I'm more familiar with the declaration of independence than the constitution, which is quite boring (except for the part about people with bear arms, awesome.)

Well, one definition of a boat is a hole in the water that you throw your money into.
Time to jump on the slippery slope:
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee...................thud
Can anyone still read it? Isn't it written in latin? Don't you have to pay someone to interpret it for you?
Nah ... I think you're referring to my condominium association's bylaws. Damned if I can figure them out.
