Blue, I do not agree (although that doesn't seem to be something allowed here much these days!)

The Founding Father were men, some slave owners, all very intelligent. They wrote a great document.

I do not believe they were supermen who could imagine the world today. Any more than we can imagine what the world will be like in another 200 years.

To fall back on the "original intent" (when it works in your favor) just doesn't work for me. The original intent was for that time and that place. We need to be intelligent enough to adapt it to fit the world we live in.

But one last question before I leave you to your original intent...why do you label people who hold different opinions than you do? Why the "leftie" crap?
