The US government was never designed to be a utopian ideal, it was designed to be a mangled mess, with so many different factions fighting on so many fronts that none of them would ever accomplish anything, so the rest of us could get on with our lives without interference.

This is a system designed by elitists who did not like or trust ANYONE, and desired protection from the ill intent of their colleagues at the Convention. That's primal ... and the way they solved it was an epipheny. Ying ... meet Yang. He's got some false ID and a welfare check for you! ;^)

I can confidently say that NOBODY on FR could walk up to Alexander Hamilton if he was transported into an East Village bistro tonight, say "Hi", and judging his fellowship and warmth not think "I'd like to cold-cock that asshole". Kinda like meeting Mojo or Clodia Pulcher. These were not humble and friendly people. If Freepers were on the Philly secret conspiracy scene at that time ... we'd break up the vile scheme. Guaranteed! Wisely as usual! LOL If so, my descendents would be moderately successful racoon skin brokers right now. It's 2002, someone invent the outhouse already!!!!

This was not a boys club of regular Joe overachievers. They wouldn't have the time of day for we riff raffers. Asshole lawyers, most learned their stuff in France. Double Trouble! Wohhhhh ....

God blessed them all! As HE did us!
