Is that weird? No.
Is being so overly defensive about it that you utterly reject the possibility of some facets of it being wrong weird? Yes.
The constitution fundamentally is fine - having something to build yourselves on like that is great - but it's hardly untouchable.
That's a fine knee-jerk argument, but have you actually read the Constitution? Everything in there is so carefully designed that if you get rid of any one thing, the rest falls apart. The only extraneous parts are the post-Bill of Rights amendments (11 and up). You could definitely slash/modify a few of those.
But the original document and the first 10 amendments are pretty much flawless. I am still confused as to why you want us to abandon the document that created the most quickly prosperous nation in all of history so that we can be more like that country that used to be on top for like 2000 years then went way downhill in the last 200 years.
