Spot, on Rex. The battle over the size and scope of government are as old as the concept itself. As is the influence of money and vested interests. It seems that we are not growing wiser as our republic ages. Quite the opposite.
One of the problems is that there are differing interpretations about what the "founders'" intent was. I believe that is irrelevant at this point. The US Constitution was ratified in 1789. Things have changed a little since then. As forward-looking as the founders may have been, they had no idea about things like artificial intelligence, satellite navigation, most "modern technology." They would have thought it fantastical science fiction. I believe it is time to do away with the intent of the founders and interpret the Constitution based on the reality of modern times.

Rex, please explain the billing for 'membership.' I got a Visa charge dated 8/20 and I thought I had paid you this year?
