The founding fathers are mostly a bunch of dickwads compared to the people that wrote the original confederation of states. If you want to know what non-aggressive mutually beneficial voluntary governance can look like version one was better. what the "founding fathers" cooked up was a bullshit system that led to what we have now.

Let's not hold them up to greatness, but shit on them for letting a far more elegant arrangement slide so that they could usher in 2+ centuries of war.

Side note. I'm not even sure it's not the actual law of the land. I'd be interested to find documentation that it's dissolved rather than abandoned.

Otherwise, your post is fun and entertaining. It's always good to see you though I was sad I didn't make the cut for the Liberty Bell photo :sob:
