I'm not sure any of them were mysoginists and certainly not all of them owned slaves. In fact, the majority of them did not.

Of course I do not believe that the law should not evolve. In fact, not even the founders believed that. That is precisely why they included a constitutional amendment process within the constitution itself. Many of them also believed that constitutional conventions should be held every generation (about 20 years or so) to develop and submit amendments to the states for ratification. James Madison planned to hold a constitutional convention during his presidency but it was postponed indefinitely by the War of 1812. His successors, for whatever reason, did not see fit to hold a constitutional convention. If they had, the War of Northern Aggression might have been avoided.

Pssst.... Dback....

The majority of the founders were not only not slaveholders, several of them were de facto abolitionists.

As for misogyny, well, every man in the world in the 18th century was a misogynist by today's standards.

200 years from now you will be viewed as a Neanderthal by your descendants, as well.

Hyperbole and muddling of the issue isn't very becoming Jon. One doesn't have to be religious in any way to realize that abortion is the killing of an innocent child. :ohno:

Maybe Hitler. Didn't Manson have like 20 convictions by the time he was three or something?

I don't think so. IIRC he played football at UNI, loved to fish, smoke pot, post on message boards... and then he snapped.

You forgot that this country was founded by Religiously Intolerant Protestants. They wanted freedom to practice thier religion, but didn't want you practicing any other religion in thier colonies. :roll:

Well, that was true in Massachusetts - I don't think that was necessarily the case in the other 12 colonies. :thumb:
