Our four fathers ( I don't why they call them that cause I know there were more than 4) set the constitution up the way they did just to stop the kinds of excesses we are seeing today. Haha... but they were also slave holders, and if they could interpret their words today to mean what they meant in their time, we may find that they were not such wonderful folks at all. Still, I'm glad they existed, even though I'm not glad about their method of making money. History has a way of hiding the awful truth in favor of better legend, and perhaps that's not a bad thing, as it gives us something BETTER to work toward. BTW, our "Founding Fathers" were actually led by 12 Presidents of various forms of government BEFORE George Washington become President. He is recognized and the first Prez only because he was the first under the constituion of 1789. Indeed, Ol' George was the 13th President of the assemblage we now call the USA. Jerry aka LGO
