[The Urban Sombrero]

"We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America."

Balance is required to see this preamble manifested in society as the Constitution interacts with and intersects society. Extremism of all colors and stripes is the enemy of this balance, in my view.

The extremist says, "Take all the guns, well-regulated militia means only the military and national guard." The extremist says, "Any gun, any time, any person, that's what the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed means."

Balance means thinking about the "general welfare" in relation to the Constitution's interaction with society, in my view.
