  1. The founding fathers had some good ideas, some ideas worth preserving in perpetuity, some ideas that will stand the test of time, but they were still human. For crying out loud, they decided to make this country without settling the slavery issue. Does that seem particularly wise to anyone? Have a painful, raw, unsettled argument baked into your foundational document? People have massive fervor over our constitution, like it's some holy writ, and yet, haven't read the fucking thing! No women voters, no slave voters, most white people couldn't even vote because you had to own land to qualify. We didn't directly pick the president NOR senators, and we STILL don't directly pick the president. Then we have the religious zealots who proclaim love for the constitution, then wipe their ass with the 1st amendment's provision to separate church and state. It's the skeleton of a good document that can be built on, but it's not perfect.
