Just Musing this morning: Rush mentioned: A blithering idiot of colossal stupidity (that description would fit any number of people in the House and Senate, IMO) Then he mentioned: The biggest bill, now law, is meant to equalize and spread the wealth in this country. This is an effort to get rid of Grannie and Gramps, and obliterate the memories of the former America. After all it is the older folks who do have memories of the hardships and joys of creating a life in difficult times for themselves and their families. So thinking about that...I thought....What CAN we do now....? Maybe this is an excellent time to start writing down your memories of our lives in the old America. What goals and life lessons did you have to help you create a successful life? What would you like your children and grandchildren to remember of the old America that we have all known? Who knows… Maybe if every family did this, the young and unborn now, might have some sort of pathway for the future

Thirty +/- years ago I skimmed the anti-federalist papers. Seem to recall they came in ten or twelve volumes. Heavy reading. Vague recollection is that the anti-s were every bit as literate as the winners. Sometimes I think it would have been better if they'd prevailed. OTH, maybe it wouldn't have made a difference. The constraints envisioned in the Constitution are now widely regarded as silly and archaic. That despite centuries of experience here and there validating that freedom is the superior method of organizing society. Maybe there's something in our DNA that precludes appreciation, let alone understanding.
