Maybe I just don't get that particular brand of humor. I also don't see what the Bill of Rights has "become", other than what it is.

Amendment VII

In Suits at common law, the well provisioned litigant shall have numerous opportunities to appeal, and litigants may be compelled to utilize non-judicial forums as compelled by extra-judicial organizations to settle disputes.

That's reality, not bizarro world.

You might want to bring yourself up to speed with the 21st Century.

Cynical reality. And hardly new. Nothing new under the sun.

Tell you what, I'll give you an example of political humor that I think most can understand, if you give me another one of these head- scratchers. I'm willing to understand.

I prefer the republican form of government, instituted by the Declaration of Independence, which boils down to "What's yours is yours. Do not trespass the person, liberty or property of another."

As to the voluntary socialist democrazy form - if that's what you want - you can have it.
