Why were the founding fathers so much smarter than anyone alive today?
Why are the founding fathers trusted more than people today?
Were they not human? Have they now been made gods? Whose word is irrefutable and unchanging.
Were they creating laws for a society of 280 million people? Collected from around the globe? A nation that stretches from coast to coast, including a pacific Island and Arctic territory? A nation with computers, uzis nuclear warheads, cars, planes, aids, massive homelessness and obesity, with television and manufactured stars/icons, with financial priests of the stockmarket, and the chance to cryogenically freeze your head? With the psychological problems associated with living in todays world?
Just because America has the same name as then, does not make it the same county. It exists in a radically different place within the fourth dimension...time.
As such, guns are no longer slowly loading single shot arms, but sleek machines of death.
They cannot be banned in America, becasue the founding fathers decreed it.
The word of the American founding fathers is practically impossible to redesign. Even though the applicable words are an AMMENDMENT.
Almost every western democratic nation has revised their constitution. Changing it as society changed. Their leaders are no different to their leaders of the past. Arguing about what's right. Angling for their cause. Representing a portion of the community. Thinking lustful thoughts about a woman they work with.
These are not new aspects of humanity.
Yet, Americans today are prisoners. They are imprisoned by the chains of the past. By the deification of words agreed on by a group of humans. Imperfect humans trying to forge their way through a hostile planet and difficult life. No different to you and I.
