Why are the Founding Fathers on such a high pedestal for some? They stole/borrowed their ideas from the European philosphers of the generation before. It's not like they're the font of original thought, although I guess they're the font of implimented thought. And it's not like they weren't wrong about stuff {*cough*threefifthsofaperson*cough}.
