Yep no argument about the Constitution. The states refused to pass it without the Bill of Rights, for the reason you mentioned. Unfortunately our government, as most people would agree, is now trying to trample that very same Bill. I'm not sure how you can say socialism doesn't work when it is currently in practice (to some degree, pure socialism like pure ANYTHING doesn't work) in most of the EU, but arguing it with a Libertarian is probably useless.

I subscribe to the belief that we are part of collective evolution, meaning we all need each other to move forward as a species. Being isolationist and selfish doesn't mesh with my ideas of how people should interact, that's all. People in America are quick to take and slow to give. Noone seems to interpret our great privilege as a gift, they view it as a RIGHT. I just hope that trend changes as the world grows more prosperous and connected.
