Except that "perfect" doesn't mean flawless, but rather it means complete. It's not about a union without flaws, it's about a union without state-by-state insurgence.
According to Merriam Webster dictionary the first definition is about flawless. The 5th definition is about being complete. Also the most common use of perfection is not about complete first -it is a state of flawlessness. Typically, when something is flawless there is no way to make it better so it is thusly complete. But being complete is not the first answer
Synonyms: Perfect, Whole, Entire, Intact. Entire has an "implies" and then completeness. But considering the size of the entry, this is small

The framers of our constitution never intended for the consititution to be perfect or complete - it is a living body to be changed as the times changed. They were also arrogant SOBs and some of them were fairly racist (e.g. the three fifths clause). Thank god they had the forsight to realize someone may want to edit this document in the future.
Wrong, it is only PARTLY paid for by private funds,MOST is from public. This inauguration is 100+ MILLION more than any other. Obama is hardly getting less than the previous guy.
Yes, how dare he open up the mall to allow more people to view this event
The surge in spending is partly because of the Obama's decision to open the entire Mall to the public.
Other things that raised the price which is not the fault of the inauguration committee: Bad weather, Emergency services, security, Virginia and Maryland asking for money due to this event. The amount budgeted was actually 49 million. According to the article, you linked, obama asked people to hold events local to them to help alleviate the stress to DC. What does my current paragraph have in common, that the people came in the million+ range and the gov't has to acknowledge this with extra security, transportation, emergency services, etc.
I read the article you linked - where does it say that MOST of the spending came from the gov't and not private funding? The core of the event is paid by the gov't, plus things like the city services (transportation, security, emergency services, etc) are paid for by the gov't. The article does not say this - you say this. In fact, according to the article YOU quoted
Most of this new federal funding will be to deal with the huge influx of people, estimated 1.5 million to 2 million.
That is a far cry from "MOST is from public"
He said that he would, "restore science to its rightful place."
In jail, with Gallileo.
It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
