84. You know...we don't have to 'guess' about these things...
Edited on Sun Nov-09-03 08:21 AM by Q
- That is...we don't have to guess what the Founders intended for this country. They left behind the Federalist papers and thousands of pages of letters and diaries. They explained the concept of public schools, 'bearing arms', militias, separation of church and state, free speech, right to assemble, etc. What they didn't put in the Constitution they wrote in their letters.

- Yet...we have the Neocons and RWingers using some sort of strange revisionism to reinvent the Constitution until it fits their ideologies.

- But you're right...'our' government no longer works for us...we work for the government.
