they have isolated the mother of all human vice, --- coercion, --- and its institutions, -- government and gangsterism, -- as the vector and contaminators of all systematic and widespread human institutional social ills.

Fortunately, the Founding Fathers weren't reductionist know-nothings.

"There never was a government without force. What is the meaning of government? An institution to make people do their duty. A government leaving it to a man to do his duty or not, as he pleases, would be a new species of government, or rather no government at all." -- James Madison

We have learned, since Madison, that government force is an even greater evil than he and the other founders tried to curb with our constitution.

He was correct, of course, to observe that:
"There never was a government without force." ---- "A government leaving it to a man to do his duty or not, as he pleases, would be a new species of government," -- as indeed it would.
I think we could do just that, within the bounds of our constitution as it is written.
-- Restoration of our free republic is this sites goal, and also the goal of this type of constitutional libertarian thought.
- Your silly claim that it is some form of "reductionist know nothing" is meaningless rhetoric, as usual.
