KLP, Ben was a cool dude. There were a good number of delegates that were refusing to sign the Constitution as was developed at the Convention. Ben took on the task of convincing those delegates that they were NOT agreeing to the content of the Constitution but rather their signature was indicating that this was the document that came out of the Convention! [All but two delegates signed]. No wonder he had a reputation of being the ladies man with pursuasive powers like that. <s> One of my favorite quotes from Ben was a statement he made at the Convention.... "I cannot help expressing a wish that every member ... doubt a little of his own infallibility." Ben Franklin, 17 Sep 1787. I think the statement clearly infers a certain personal characteristic that was shared by many of the delegates [and a good number of posters on this thread] Best Regards, jttmab
