Well said, MysticCat. Our Founding Fathers could never have imagined the things we deal with today, where government deals heavily with social issues and the world is so diverse and interconnected. I sometimes wonder how Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson would have dealt with the issues of global instability or radicalism; or how Lincoln and Kennedy would have dealt with gay rights and other social issues.
