His political activism my question for you is, dont you think that there is no document as closely held to our heart as the constitution happens to be, that it is not sacrosanct. In other words, we have to have a constitutional convention, perhaps once every hundred years. Trying to have an allout process where the populace the constituents, 300 million would participate and then do a referendum, trying to have the documents revised to reflect the realities of the day rather than allowing it to be exploited by the establishment where the majority will be left on the fringes. Host the constitution is out of date in some respects. For example, the Words Corporation and company dont even appear in the constitution.

The problem is, do you want to risk a convention in which you may lose some of the bill of rights and it may be retrograd

They would interfere with somebody else. Id hesitate to tell you how much more efficient it would be because you would laugh me out of this room, but were talking not about tens of times of improvement, or hundreds or thousands, but millions of time improvement, and thats not as crazy as it sounds because from the time of marconi until now, we are a trillion times more efficient than we were in mar coneys time. So the thought of being a billion times more efficient in the next 20 or 30 years is not as crazy as it sounds. Monday night at 8 00 eastern on the communicators on cspan 2.

Us on cspan. Its great to be with you. Kristina peterson of the wall street journal and rebecca shabad.

Well over a Million People expected to pay their respects to those who were killed in the acts of terror last week, and i mention that because congress is about to debate the future funding of the department of Homeland Security. Do the events in paris change the dynamics in that debate . Well, steve, first, let me say, all of our hearts go out to the people of france, and as president obama has said, were going to be working very closely with them to continue to track down the terror cells that may have been responsible for those attacks.

Its especially i think a bad signal now to do that, and so i
