The FOOLISH are divided by Race - Religion - Gender.
LIFE IS SHORT - SMILE WHILE YOU STILL HAVE TEETH.
we must all learn to hear what we do not like - the questions is not, "is it pleasant?" but, "is it true?"

If we try to have a multi-cultural society where the individual culture of everybody must be formally recognized rather than overlooked,
what remains is a nation divided at least by the fact that everybody, no matter what the size of their faction percentage wise,
is going to show favoritism to his/her own cultural subdivision. Nature mandates it, and we prove nature's mandate by our behavior.
That's why I feel we can celebrate our heritage among our own as we wish, but not acknowledge any race, religion, or ethnicity under the law.
Doing the latter is a recipe for the disaster that's America. Ignoring differences rather than trying to compensate for them is what successful multi-culturism does.
Or maybe we like hurling projectiles at one another. You tell me.

The Bill of Rights, some of them, were very worthwhile amendments. I'm personally not a huge fan of the 10th, for example, while other liberals--not me--bitch about the 2nd.
But the original articles of the constitution are what formed our government, and that government is a hot mess of inefficiency.
More modern democracies that came later didn't use it as a model because it really isn't very good.

Just like you.
I voted for Doctor Jo, but it is a relief that Biden is president, not Trump. Just too much fucking drama and bullshit with Trump. His speech at CPAC is just the latest example. It was painful. I hope Biden's presidency is eventually rated the Most Boring Presidency of the Century.
