>>And just as you disdain the moral courage and enlightenment (however flawed in your eyes) of our founding fathers, you can rest assured that 200 years from now, our descendants will ridicule our own views as archaic.<<

Listen, I agree with that and I have the highest respect for Jefferson, Franklin and Adams. But they lived before we even understood evolution.

So when people say things like: "our founding fathers would turn over in their grave", the people who say that do not realize their ideas are dated.

Some are eternal, but others need changing jsut like our constitution needs constant updating.

In the future people will be very existential and we will have one world government. If we survive the Neanderthal thinking in our midst today that want things to stay the same forever.
