Founding Fathers
Jun. 20th, 2005 08:47 amThe next time I hear someone say how horrrible it is that some change in the Constitution is an attrocity to liberty because "its not as the Founding Fathers envisioned", I'm going to remind them that the "Founding Fathers" didn't think that Slavery was sufficiently bothersome for them to ban it from the Constitution. They even made some provisions that said it was perfectly legitimate. So much for the wonderful wisdom of the "Founding Fathers".
You don't have to like all the changes that have been going on. But try to understand the problem itself and the intricacies involved instead of just going with whatever the "Founding Fathers" decided must have been right. They were people just like the rest of us with their own agendas to push. I'm not saying they were necessarily wrong in all their beliefs. I'm sure that many of them believe they were acting in the best interest of everyone.
The most dangerous types of leaders always do.
