To: EternalVigilance; Mrs. B.S. Roberts

I find it awe inspiring that those FOUNDERS were able to write down the basic foundation document of the GREATEST NATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE EARTH in so few understandable words.
I find it sickening that those in elected office today seem unable to write ANYTHING in less than 2000 pages, that few if we are lucky.
The CONSTITUTION may be read while consuming a cup of coffee. The “regulation” governing the design of a mustard container may be read over a period of a week.
Something is really screwed. US!!

"The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy the gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people; then shall we both deserve and enjoy it. While, on the other hand, if we are universally vicious and debauched in our manners, though the form of our Constitution carries the face of the most exalted freedom, we shall in reality be the most abject slaves."

-- Samuel Adams
