We have gone well away from the Constitution on this one.

Are you of the opinion that the US constitution is a living document?

I am of the opinion that if you want to change the US constitution you
do it through the process it defines and get an amendment passed.

The problem is that rights come from the creator and the creator did not
and will not give you the "right" to steal your neighbors property to
fund your desires. A document that is one of the base documents of our
laws specifically proscribes stealing.

Are you advocating that the parents can choose to kill their children if
they want to, you know if the children become inconvenient or a bother.

Is the resentment from your childhood coming through? Spend a little too
much time locked in your room?
