| Today we're out here on the streets asking people why they think the | |
| Constitution is outdated and whether or not we should take away or add to. | |
| Let's see what they have to say. | |
| I don't know a lot about this stuff. | |
| I really don't. | |
| I shouldn't. | |
| Well, you should know about that. | |
| We share this country. | |
| We should all be proud Americans. | |
| We should all know these things, you know? | |
| You're right. | |
| I know. | |
| I need to learn more about it. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| Yeah, you do. | |
| No, it's not out there. | |
| I can't even think of any right now, but I know that some of it is, because it needs to be re-looked at. | |
| A lot of it, uh... The gun rights, I think, need to be changed. | |
| I think it's not an out there computer document. | |
| People have to follow it more. | |
| What do you think about the right to privacy? | |
| Oh, well they definitely overstepped their bounds on that one. | |
| With the NSA? | |
| Yeah, definitely. | |
| How does that make you feel? | |
| Like I'm being watched all the time. | |
| Doesn't make you feel too good, does it? | |
| No, I don't like it at all. | |
| I'm just kind of busy, so I haven't been really able to think about it. | |
| So I'm just kind of going to school and whatnot, so... Well, when the Constitution was written, it was written to protect the public. | |
| There were a couple of things in there like the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. | |
| That has been distorted. | |
| It was in order to protect the pioneers from the British invasions. | |
| And they had to have guns to hunt. | |
| They didn't have supermarkets like we do today. | |
| That was the reason they had the right to bear arms. | |
| So you think we should completely revise the Second Amendment? | |
| You think we should just get rid of it completely? | |
| Well, the Second Amendment has something in it that is very important. | |
| I think that if you are in a situation where you need to bear arms, yes. | |
| What that situation would encompass, I can't say. | |
| But in general, the public should not be allowed to have guns. | |
| I don't think you should rewrite that. | |
| You should just get rid of all the politicians that are making decisions right now. | |
| All the old cronies. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Let's get a whole new group in there. | |
| That Supreme Court guy that wants change is about 90, about 190 years old, isn't he? | |
| Do you think we should add anything to the Constitution or take away anything at all, like the freedom of speech, right to privacy? | |
| Not at all. | |
| Not at all. | |
| Do you think it's okay that the NSA completely violates that right there, our right to privacy? | |
| Um... | |
| It's debatable if they do or they don't. | |
| I mean, so they say it's for our own good. | |
| If that's what they say, but I mean... Who knows? | |
| You know, as an American though, you don't feel like you've been violated, though? | |
| You know, we give them all this power and this trust. | |
| I think the government violates us every day. | |
| I can't understand. | |
| Uh, I don't know. | |
| Like, I go to school here. | |
| But I'm from Colombia and I live, my whole family lives in Colombia, so I really... Well, you're here. | |
| You should care about it. | |
| It affects you. | |
| No, I do care about it. | |
| The thing is, like, I don't feel educated enough to say, like, I completely support this. | |
| We are living in a world right now. | |
| That's terror ridden. | |
| It's got a lot of problems. | |
| Murders. | |
| Robberies. | |
| But that's always been going on. | |
| Yes, but the popular... The only reason is, though, is the social media. | |
| Now you just have more viewing of it. | |
| And I think that's wrong, too, because a lot of copycat crimes going on. | |
| Alright? | |
| School shootings. | |
| They publicize it. | |
| Why? | |
| Somebody says, hey, that's a good idea. | |
| I'll do that, too. | |
| Things like that are wrong. | |
| The media has to stop publicizing crime. | |
| As you can see, there's a lot of varying opinions about the Constitution. |
