I'm related to James Madison. I've studied him. You don't need to tell me his problems. lol

>but make no mistake about who the founders were.

Not all of the founders -- that is the generalization I refer to. No overall group of powerful people does what it does for the interest of anyone but themselves. They may fool themselves otherwise, but the majority will always be selfish primates. Due to Europe's expression of this, our whole individual nation came to be in the first place. There will always be important exceptions -- we were blessed with a few extraordinary people as founders. We shouldn't generalize about any group of people. Had we listened to Franklin and Adams in the first place, we'd have arguably a better country than the one we'd inherited.
