This actually appeared on CNN. Thank you, Fareed Zakaria. How embarrassing. Sad thing is, I bet a lot of people would endorse this. Constitutional amendment via Facebook. Madison must be rolling over in his grave.

Iceland is using citizens' ideas drawn from Facebook and Twitter to rewrite its Constitution. Is it time for the United States to do the same? Fareed Zakaria explores the question.

The nation decided it needed a new Constitution and it's soliciting ideas from all of Iceland's 320,000 citizens with the help of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
