Cliff, Benjamin Franklin famously said "if you can keep it." The fact is that we don't want to keep it. I surrender. It's money, influence peddling, murderous attitudes toward our own citizens (there's a difference between pre-Civil War and now, but it's nowhere near what it should be), pervasive corruption. I don't know what the Founding Fathers would want me to do, but they wouldn't want the mess we have frankly worked hard to create for ourselves, and the mess we've made of what they fought and worked to give us.
