How old are you John? (just asking due to what it seems you were taught in school.) Our "Forefathers" are the signers of our Constitution. They didn't invent slavery, and some had to "compromise" their personal feelings in order to get all 13 colonies to sign. Thomas Jefferson went as far as to say he hoped the creator would forgive them for it. Due to "State Law" he couldn't free his slaves untill he died. Which he did. Like most of our Forefathers who owned slaves, he treated them well, more like family than a possesion. Are you even aware that it is wrong to judge them according to what was a common practice "then"? They made sure the Constitution could be ammended, but that the Bill of Rights couldn't be. The first ten Amendments are restrictions on the government. President Lincoln was the first to violate them. Yet he is considered to be one of our greatest presidents. The "Liberal" indoctrination by our public school system since the mid 70's is one of the greatest tragedies of our history. It has robbed 2 generations of an honest education, destroyed our heritage, and created a flock of sheeple who lack personal responsibility. The college shooting was a result of this moral vacuum. When guns could be bought in hardware stores, these tragedies didn't happen. So it is something else. Like a lack of respect for human life. This outcome was debated during Roe vs Wade. Looks like thev Secular Progressives will never take responsibility for their failed social experiments. Stunt

The folks that came to Jamestown wanted to get rich. The so called pilgrims had made themselves entirely unwanted anywhere in europe and they wanted religious control, not freedom. Our forefathers were far more interested in money than religion. Thankfully, they made the thingamabob they wrote so it could be changed. They owned slaves for cryin out loud. They knew it was wrong. john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Sent: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 8:40 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Wow, Whoda Guessed This ??

Consider that when writing the constitution the writers knew that their words would be contested in decades to come. I think they did their jobs pretty well considering what they were up against........
