Texas Consitution? Hit the Road.

Texas should adopt a new constitution. Continuing to use the current one is like driving your Chevrolet Silverado with a doughnut spare. Sure, you might get where you're going on the short term, but unless you update to a full size replacement, you'll soon be stuck with a flat. The Texas constitution is outdated, especially as it was written with a reactionary state of mind, attempting to go against many of the values set forth by previous constitution. It would make much more sense to have a constitution based on real values and needs of a vibrant and moving community, rather than biased opinions of the day that it was written.

The Texas constitution has been amended 467 times, making it evermore complicated and lengthy. Although these amendment are made with the intent to fix wrongs within the existing constitution, it is more like adding patches to the afore mentioned doughnut spare. In reality, these patches just end up making the constitution weaker. Texas needs a constitution that addresses broad issues that affect it today, and will continue to affect it in the future, like education, taxes, social welfare etc. Without a strong base of four full size tires, the classic Texas truck is going no place fast.
