No shame necessary, Mike. Be proud that you are knowledgeable about something you did not know before and even prouder that you can bring that knowledge to others that you converse with. The more we understand our Constitution, the more we understand our civil rights and freedoms. And feel more respect for the democracy we choose through our vote.

I heard an interesting remark during a radio interview recently, that there are two u.s. constitutions. one was written before the civil war, and the other was written after it. One is restrictive and the other expansive. My observation is that at any moment people can appeal to one or the other, as they see fit. It is a bit like the old and new testaments. Meanwhile, I am waiting for someone to say, I want the state government out of my life! When you think about it, why do states still control federal elections?
