Cluttering up the constitution

I quite agree with your Nov. 7 editorial that the failure of Amendment 1 and the passage of Amendment 2 were travesties. I do not know how these amendments get on the ballot in the first place. At a meeting yesterday of the Voters Coalition, it was pointed out that the U.S. Constitution has had less than 20 amendments (not counting the Bill of Rights) in over 200 years. By contrast, there have been some 200 changes to the Florida Constitution. This is outrageous! Will the next one try to limit the time we spend on our computers?
