You gotta love how people throw arouind terms that in context are useless. I see posts with "founding fathers" this and "founding fathers" that. Is there some approved list somewhere as to who is in and who is out? Then you act as if they are of one mind. Some of these so-called founding fathers were Federalists, others were Anti-Federalists, while still others were in between. Some thought we needed a Bill of Rights while others didn't. Some wanted the Constitution ratified and others didn't. Necessarily they would be totally ignorant about 21st century America. Some wanted America to be this great agrarian society while others wanted a great industrial nation. I wouldn't want Benjamin Franklin working on my electrical system. Even an apprentice today knows more than Franklin did. Similarly I wouldn't want Alexander Hamilton as my stock broker either. He would be ignorant about most of modern day finances. There is just no factual, objective basis for to prove that any "founding father", is so much smarter than anyone else here in the 21st Century.
