Welcome to Tony Island blog! Mark Levin's latest book, The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic , proposes and discusses 10 Constitutional amendments that Levin believes will restore a more balanced constitutional republic. Each chapter opens with the proposed amendment and then goes on to discuss the merits of the amendment, including historical facts to bolster his case. I assume that Levin would want these to be added to the Constitution as written, but he could also be setting them out as discussion points. While I disagree with his amendments (see below), I do strongly recommend the book for the historical and contemporary information used to discuss the proposed amendments. I want to take a moment and remind our readers that any tinkering with the Constitution is fraught with peril.

Welcome to Tony Island blog! This editorial was written by a Canadian in 1973. It became so popular it was recorded and released as a hit tune. You can read its history on the Internet. While it still holds up today, for the most part, there are some outdated things like the American dominance in airplanes. It's interesting to listen to it and think how far the US has gone downhill these past 40 years (in some regards, not all). I'd really like your thoughts about this editorial. Would we see something similar today from a Canadian or any other nationality? Is it still true what it says about us in light of recent revelations (ie spying on our allies, war in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc)? Please share your thoughts! Thanks for reading Tony Island blog!
