no would not risk my life . It's paper, and they have copies
Yes, if I felt I had a good chance of success.
Yes. Great movie too!!
No, but I would be glad to throw you in front of it ;-)
To do that I'd have to kill every politician in Washington.
I accept the mission.
No. If you imagine you would risk your life to save a document that has been copied millions of times, then you have spent way too much time watching "National Treasure." What is it Chris Rock says, "Get the ... outa here!" Sort of fun. Thanks
Even if I had virtually NO chance, I'd try. Yes, there are copies (I've got one myself), but there's only one original. It's more than just a document. It embodies part of the history of this nation of ours. It represents those who fought and died to make what we have now. My life is worth it. All of our lives are worth it.
Nope in the end it is merely a piece of paper.
no. because theres laws after laws that is more important than the constitution.
For me, there are two situations at hand, each with a different viewpoint. As a member of the military, if I were tasked with the job of protecting the document, even to my own personal injury, I would do everything within my power to insure the success of my mission. As a regular American citizen, if I felt I could stop someone without bringing harm upon myself *minimal force to detain without personal injury* I would do so, but if it meant my own death, not a chance. The real value of the constitution is not the document itself, it is the human freedom that is the spirit of what the document represents, this spirit is not embodied within the document, it is within each and every American. Our own individual interpretations of what the constitution means are part of that spirit of freedom, the freedom to choose, to live your life as you see fit, within reason.
its just a piece of paper like inter said. if we were really living by the constitution then there will be no laws. like the constitution say you can do this, but the laws say that you cant do that. know what it mean? hypocrites! rite?
Of course I would risk my meager life to protect a document that has protected so many and has changed the world so much. Any patriot would do the same as I for a very similar reason
wow! a life for a piece of paper! thats incredible. what and incredible sin. WOW!!!
