Thank G-d our founding fathers recognized the dangers of the "tyranny of the majority" and passed the Bill of Rights to protect us. Regardless of what some may say it would be a different and poorer nation had we not the Bill Of Rights.

They added the Tenth Amendment, believing that it was plain enough to be understood by all, and would eliminate any attemt to misconstrue the other nine. Apparently they were a little over-optimistic.

You mean the same Founding Fathers, some of whom wanted to make sodomy punishable by castration, right? Those guys? Can you cite for me any quote from a Founding Father endorsing the kind of free and easy access to pornography that we currently enjoy today?
