    I know, but my point is that the founding fathers acknowledged they weren’t infallible which makes appeals to tradition and authority that many use to prevent progress in the US are extra dumb.

      …which has nothing to do with the Constitution.

      Unless the appeal to authority is a literal appeal to literal legal authority.

        …But it does have to do with what NOT_RICK was discussing prior to that post, which had to do with the constitution.

          Not really. Apparently, some people are acting like idiots because they think the founding fathers would have thought a certain way. Sure, okay, sounds like a problem.

          The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Not a problem.

          Two separate things only conflated by the uneducated.

            Okay well, you sound uneducated to me. And since you can’t finish a single…single post in this entire thread without insulting people, I don’t see any point to arguing here.

            Just…be mad I guess. Just try not to think you sound as smart or as mature as you think you do.
