I am a Ron Paul supporter because I saw the problems as he did and agreed with how to manage the solutions... but more importantly, I vehmently hate socialism of corporation and people... I hate socialism period (not people, just the ideology)... and as I was surfing his website, I notice a blurb about the states trying to set up a Constitutional Convention, which as I understand is to make ammendments to the constitution... so far there are 32 states that have approved it (possibly 33 today - and needs only 34 to come to fruition)... my question is WHY? Just what exactly are they trying to ammend? Why isn't the media covering something SO BIG like this? Are they waiting until its over... Do they rather leave the public in the dark so that they cannot voice their opinion on whether to form one or not? I don't like Big Media/Big Business coordinating this and leaving people in the dark... What are they doing?

I haven't heard anything on this subject either. Don't have a link to the blurb or anything more specific by any chance?

Hate is not a healthy emotion. Even hating murderers or terrorists is destructive to the spirit. Hating an abstract noun must be a heavy burden to carry.

Hate can be a very motivating emotion, useful for carrying out daunting tasks, whether the hate is justified or not can be determined on a per incident basis.

Can you give me an example of a daunting task that can be performed with a more favorable result when your spirit is dominated by hate?
