1010RD, man you are so right.

Check out the spittle/foam at post #74

See, this is why I stopped talking to you in the first place. Post 74 is entirely factual and correct. So you come back with mentally stunted ad hominem. You are a waste of time. A troll, really.

There are any number of things that COULD have happened, and we'll never know what might have happened.

I disagree. There are many things that might have happened, including incredible failures! Why do you overlook that point?

The states were starting to develop into factions and finances were falling apart in the colonies. Unless an authority took control of the mess, the union was doomed.

Actually, there is more probability in the union falling apart than there was in the anti-federalist arguments saving the union. To argue the "strengths" of an unproven and untried system of government(especially one that was weaker than the federal proposal) over a system that has given us the United States seems risible. By removing its strength, it could be weak enough to fail.

Huck, your passion is noted, also your stubborn nature. You lost --- over 200 years ago. The system was good; it's the management that screwed it up. The same could happen with ANY government, even the alleged one you support that never came to be.

and.....easy on the ad hominems, guys. This argument was settled long ago.
