When I think it is a far better Idea to Keep the original because hell it has survived this long and things have worked out well considering We The People dropped the ball somewhere along the line but I think the people of this nation are just now starting to get their heads back in the game from the way things are looking.
Who is to decide what is to be changed and what should be left in?

I don't think you'd fit in the fear of change group, Deadman. From some of the statements you've made, I think you fit more into the paranoia group. Don't take that the wrong way. I'm not saying you're crazy or anything as paranoia, in this case, is just an irrational fear of needing a gun to defend yourself. The reason I say it is irrational is that the chances are slim, unless you own a convenience store in a crack neighbourhood that you've been neglecting to tell us about, yet you talk about it like there's a very real threat out there against you.
As for the a rewrite on the constitution, I think it is overdo. The thing was written by a bunch of guys, over two hundred years ago, who had no idea what kinds of technology and situations would be around today. As for who would be writing it, same way it was done before. Only issue I see with this is that we've become polarised by region, red/blue/purple states, and may not be able to remain whole as a country. Then again, I don't see this as being necessaryly a bad thing. It doesn't seem like we're one country any more as it is, more like a couple of countries forced to try and act as one and nothing gets done to anyone's liking.
