The only problem I have with this posting of the Convention is the more I learn of our founding the more I know How much I don’t know-and realize how much too many Americans are either ignorant of themselves-or otherwise distracted and therefore easier to lead or draw from the political house erected like silly women filled with diverse lusts.Not a day is read here without such knowledge that too often I cannot reconcile what was intended to what is now seen.T’anks for this is both a blessing and a curse.
“...a blessing and a curse...”

I agree.
The notes and records of the debates illustrate to me how how well these men understood the issues, the frailties of men, and the problems that we face even today.
Many days it is depressing to read of the good intentions to design a “more perfect union”; and then to think of how after all of those efforts, we have descended to where we are now.
