Spare me your gibberish and silly insults.

From the beginning in 1776, the Framing generation experienced overly democratic state governments . The states relied on public virtue more than governmental structure to secure rights. Bad idea.

It didn't work well at all. For one, property was not secure. Personally moral men passed immoral laws that favored debtors and screwed creditors.

Poor state governments that abused revolutionary tenets are the reason the states called for a convention in 1787.

Learning from experience, our Framers took account of man's fallen nature and designed a government that beautifully divided power and secured rights.

The fact that men and women met yesterday and will meet today to deal with a horribly corrupted system is proof there are still freedom loving citizens among us.

Reminiscent of attitudes of planning office clerks.

Oh, those evil framers, trying to prevent honorable justice like the following.

See the rate of increase in political warming and economic cooling. There's not enough time for the bureaucratic effort to change our Constitution. Maybe public servants should assume proper servant postures, before their offices are closed for lack of funds.
