It is also stored in one location that most will never visit. A picture of it is no better proof of what it says then a typed copy of it available online. Either way that you are going to read it will be the same, there are enough copies of the text out there to find inconsistencies in them as well as enough to ensure that you are getting the message correct by comparison. So have you read the constitution? the actual document or have you just looked at pictures and copies of the text?

Yes, it's in the National Archives Museum for all to see.

Also, there's no fuckin' conspiracy in looking at photos. Get your head out of your ass.

So reading it from photos is fine, but reading it from where it has been typed out isn't?

Sure it is on display in the national archives, as I said a place most will never visit.

I was not saying there is a conspiracy of the photos being altered I was saying that the typed versions are just as accurate as photos, so again you only need to be able to read cursive if you want to read the original document.

So outside of documents that have been converted to other formats so cursive isn't needed for them anyhow, do you have any other uses for the skill in current times?
