"Wait, how can the Constitution (which, as you state, has been amended numerous times) be an ancient text?"
- Are you really going to split hairs here?
"Except without government, there would be no one to stop the aggression."
- Who stops aggression under government? People. Who would stop aggression without government? People. Privatized security and defense companies would exist.
"That's like saying a Beetles album is just wax, or a Metallica album is just a CD, etc etc. You fail to recognize the value of the content beyond the mere delivery method."
- It's a piece of paper in the idea that it's written by men, and changed by men. It's an opinion piece, it's not rooted in nature. People who say, "Well, that must be fine because the constitution permits it!!!" are philosophically inept. If you derive your morality from the constitution, you're doing it wrong.
It's worth having first principles such as the non-aggression axiom. Not the opinions of others.
