The Libertarian Snakebite Kit - Day

2:23PM - Anti-patriots, get out!

This post at Joi Ito's Web has an interesting take on the failure of the (governmental?) educational system to instill a reasonable regard for the Constitution and it's amendments. The survey that the BBC refers to is The Future of the First Amendment or a superfluous flash trash "page" for those that like shiny, useless content.

I derive from this survey that significant a percentage of the soon-to-be voting age public should be finding another country to live in. Since they don't believe in the Bill of Rights, freedom of expression or the rest of the First Amendment, they definitely should never be allowed to serve in a position that requires them to uphold the Constitution. I also see no reason to allow them citizenship, and favor deportation of the individuals concerned.

Yes, this a radical proposition, but I see no reason that people that refuse to conform to the founding principles of the United States should be allowed to stay here. After all, if they favor abrogation (as in "to treat as nonexistent" -- m-w.com) of other people's (notice I didn't say artificial entities like corporations) rights, I see no reason why they should be able to retain theirs. I consider this type of people as the most dangerous kinds of dissidents that can inhabit a country.
