No. I am asserting where my goalposts are and have always been. One cannot have a meaningful discussion about the "Founders of America" without going back all the way to the Pilgrims. |
Well, that puts you (and David Barton) on the outside looking in, since the Constitution replaced everything that preceded it. But, don't forget Roger Williams. He was the original Barry Lynn.

I intend to finish a biography of Thomas Paine and to start reading The Federalist Papers. I also intend to spend some time working an APHA mare of mine that isn't breaking at the poll.
I am assuming that you are probably dropping down I-35. If you want to give your kids some exposure to science that won't impinge on your creationism, you might want to take a diversion at Wichita and hop over to Hutchinson to see the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center. It is an absolutely fantastic facility that shows the parallel development of the American and Soviet space programs. In some respects, I think it is superior to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum (which it is affiliated with).
