I neglected to cite the source of that quote. Sorry.

It's from Washington's Farewell Address of 1796. At one time, the Address was read at July 4th celebrations and memorized by school kids. It perhaps should be again. The whole Address can be found here: http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/washing.htm

And yes, the Constitution is an impressive document, especially in light of the fact it was designed by a committee. Some of its most important features were arrived at by compromise, therefore somewhat accidentally, since no one set out with the end result in mind.

One of its key features, the amendment process whereby the people can, through 'an explicit and authentic act', change the government, was a radical and unique idea at the time. It takes away the need for revolutions. Regularly scheduled elections function in the same way, allowing change before pressure builds too high.

I highly recommend David Kyvig's "Explicit and Authentic Acts: Amending the US Constitution, 1776-1995". It illuminates the process of amendments and explains how each of the amendments was added. It's the best book on Constitutional history I've ever read.

Paul: Secretive Elite Control America
02-01-2008
Press TV

Presidential candidate Ron Paul says he traces America's problems to the flawed monetary policy of the wealthy and secretive elite.

During a speech at the University of Washington on Thursday, Paul said the Congress and the Federal Reserve will not be able to stem the recession spurred by the home mortgage meltdown.

"The most important thing you can do is nothing," said the Texas congressman, who voted against the recent $146 billion economic stimulus package passed by the US House of Representatives.

The 10-term Texas congressman maintained that a series of wrong economic decisions by the Bush administration has led to a recession.

The government should allow the market to correct itself, Paul added.

Although the mainstream media attempts to keep a low profile on the 72-year-old presidential hopeful, he has managed to find a staunch group of supporters who say he has captured their hearts with his 'message of freedom' and constitutionalism.

"The Constitution was written for one specific purpose and that was to restrain the government, not to restrain the people," Paul has said.

More spam, yawn!

What do you have to say re: the issues Dave?

Apparently nothing

[Milwaukiedave]

I have plenty to say (in fact I already said it). I'm not sure which is worse, your level of reading comprehension or your attention span. It says very little for you, when all you can do is chronically spam the board with youtube clips and conspiracy theories.

[Ya-ta Boy]

It is spam when you post the ravings of RP on a thread about what foreigners are saying about the US election. Unfortunately, RP is one of ours, so what he says about a secret elite is not relevant.

Please stop spamming.

Ya Ta Boy:

Washington was a Deist, as were most of the founding fathers. He was therefore religious beyond just role playing.

And God help us if we should ever become secular humanists to the extent of much of Western Europe (and parts of Canada and New Zealand).
