insane of course. your assumption is that those in human history empowered to prohibit things ( Hitler Stalin Mao for example) will know better than those not empowered to prohibit things. America is greatest in human history because Founders thought people knew better. Do you understand?
Don’t really understand, the Founders seemed to be ok with slavery. And the notion that “America is greatest in human history” is a suspect one. Germany apparently thought that in the 1930s-40s. Didn’t turn out well. Ask the Sioux what they think. (Imagine what a good time Jesus or Ghandi or even Jefferson would have with your statement. There lies fascism.) As I recall, God designated one chosen people, and it is wasn’t us Yanks. And as the guy said in “Fiddler on the Roof,” “I wish you would choose someone else once in a while.”
