your votes yes are no better than votes in ignorance against the constitution. one poster admittedly has not read its 500 pages. and all the posters, even the original writer, completely ignored any merits of the constitution herself, just cited some nebulous need for its existence. abstain or at the very least vote silently, but do not be such an imperialistic demander of support for your pet cause.
