In a shameless act of self-promotion, let me direct you to more on the Bolivian constitution:

the Trump administration is on a path toward undermining our democracy by pouring
taxpayer dollars galore into the U.S. military.  This will happen despite the fact that,
15 years after 9/11, that military has won nothing and settled no conflicts to
Washington’s advantage, even as terror groups have spread across the Greater Middle
East and Africa.                                             --William Hartung, Tomdispatch.com

Human Rights!! Huh huh YUP


I looked at the Bolivian Constitution, which might be a model for the US - the right to healthcare, the rights of women, of children, minorities. The right to food, home and water.....The right to dignity and privacy .....Gorgeous. Don't we wish....!
