Gee, rustbucket, if you extended the indictment of slavery to all of 18th- and 19th-century America, you might begin to conclude that the country was founded on deeply compromised premises, don't you think? And that the country might need to be refounded on new bases that were more modern and less.....bourgeois, don't you think?

I'm sure glad we are so wealthy in vanguard thinkers who will be willing to help take us there. I bellyfeel doubleplusgood newthinkers, don't you, 'bucket?

The new refounded country would have to be based on European sensibilities (European countries have done so well), and our tax rates would have to be increased to match theirs so as not to give us an economic advantage.

Sandra Day O'Connor has already started the process.
