I wasn't implying anything other than the world is more complicated than it was a thousand years ago.
I say the world is better than it was in the past. We have more wealth, we live longer, we have embraced that concept of a division of labor allowing technology to better our lives. How is the world therefore more complicated? I'd say life to today is far easier than having to hunt or gather food for your daily existence. More importantly, why should the Constitution not apply today exactly as it was intended two hundred years ago? Because we drive cars instead of horses? Because we watch television instead of theater? Exactly what in the modern world renders the Constitution less applicable?
