I would consider this an advantage.  Remember, most of the United States
Constitution is written in a very vague way.  This is why there have only
been 27 ammendments made in 200+ years.  

Of course this leads to the classic arguement, "this is not what the
Framers had in mind."  Of course, I am not a mind reader today and I
certainly wasn't 215 years ago.  All I know is what they wrote down.  And
this is why every American should have a tank in his garage.  :)
