it's worse than that. madison promoted his constitution to the establishment convention as a sure defense against democracy, and, not incidentally, protection of slavery.
and he delivered. the south rightly claimed the protection of the constitution, that the north had profited from for 60 years.
but the north had changed its mind, more money to be made from wage-slavery, so they 'discovered human rights.'
and it's the same old story today. the people that authorized the iraq invasion are simple murderers. but there was all that lovely oil, and prospects of empire in the oil lands around.
likewise, nato has become a tool of empire, the ussr has gone, there is no threat anymore.
then there's the vietnam war. worse, by far. still, there was personal benefit. i realized i was living among monsters., in a nation ruled by sociopathic scum.
