I would actually disagree. I don't consider our Constitution a privilege but a right.

I think it was, but have forgotten what it's like. I'm still here but the America that the Constitution described has fundamentally changed. Sad...

Agree. There are so many countries out there that have used our constitution as a guide to write their own, I know for a fact over 20 have tried to emulate it.

SrA Art Siatkowsky - Airman; I suspect that there were several generations of slaves and Native Americans who wouldn't agree with him.

And, considering that it is now "constitutional" for the US government to kidnap people anywhere in the world and deliver them up to be tortured (without even the faintest ghost of a hint of a whiff of a suspicion of a chance to defend themselves [since they aren't told why it is happening]) anywhere in the world there might well be some contemporaries who would question the use of the word "greatest".

On the other hand "The American Ideal" is STILL awe inspiring.

It is a dream ... and it is still a dream ... a dream need enough faith to live on and become reality. Even if it became reality ... it still need more faith to keep it there ... or else ... it fall back into ...it just a dream.
