Our founding fathers truly understood oppression. They had experienced it first hand and had endless examples of European govt failure. It is sad how far we have come from the intent of our founding fathers. Man is always striving to control others and our ignorance and apathy have led us to where we are today. Maybe now people will educate themselves and refuse to allow the continuing bastardization of our Constitution. It is not a "living" document. It very clearly enumerates the purpose and powers of the federal govt. Can we save it in time?
