Thank you for your post, J.C. I've tried my best to get on board with the whole founding fathers thing, and I have to say I just don't get it. No matter what I read on the subject, I'm left thinking 'that was then, and this is now' so that it doesn't really matter to me what their vision of governance was back then when the population was small and we had enormous quantities of natural resources and open farmland. I can't get my arms around the reverence some people have for the founding fathers. Why do people assume the founding fathers got everything right on the first pass? Roosevelt definitely expanded the role of government. I prefer Roosevelt's vision of governance to the founding fathers. So for me, the vision of the the founding fathers was incomplete.
