Review:

An actual reading of the documents that so many Americans profess to “defend unto death”, which so few have ever actually read.

Americans have a racist past built into their entire socio-political system.

Dred Scott, good grief.

Brown v. Board of Education – good grief in 1955.

A well regulated militia is not the same as being able to buy machine guns at Wal-mart.

It was a great experience to read the actual documents in the old language. Sometimes confusing and legalistic, but now I know for my own edification the words that people keep fighting over.
