Our Founding Fathers were brilliant and had a wonderful understanding of where this nation was going,and what would be the best way to run a country and best suit its citizens.

Our representative form of government has proved itself these 228 years surviving a civil war and some changes to its constitution. There ain't no way some whining liberal crybabies are going to change our form of government any time soon. Even if the "slimes" endorses doing away with the EC all that rag is and will ever be anymore is a mouthpiece for the clintons.

I agree. I also think we have to rise to meet challenges that are presented to us. We need to learn the history of western civilization the way the Founding Fathers knew it. We have to master the philosophy developed during the Reformation and Enlightenment. We also need to study -- and often reject -- the relativist ideas of the 20th century. It's important for new generations of free thinkers to establish better understanding of the core principles of freedom. As I've said about the Greatest Generation: the mistake of the baby boomers was to believe it. They reasoned that they didn't need to do anything important because their parents already had "done it all." They were like ostriches sticking their heads into the sands of time. While the Constitution isn't a living document, it may be amended. I just think this idea of amending it by abolishing the EC is loathsome and disingenuous.
