What would you ask the founding fathers?
Here is what I would tell the US Founding Fathers:
Dear Great Thinkers and Leaders of your day,
I recognize the tremendous moral outrage and moral purpose you felt with drafting our country's first 'rules'. You took what you thought was wrong about living under British rule, took ideas geared to the majority, and attempted to give US Citizens clear rights within their government. You placed the emphasis on God and fairness, as best you could envision it in your time.
I'm sorry to say, it would make you sick to see how many of your moral ideals have been trashed over the last 50-60 years. We have kids who parents still treat like possessions, like cattle, with some moms even trying to sell their babies for less than $50.00... it is no wonder children cannot feel self-respect, because we give children so little respect! Did you hear that Texas is now forcing students to wear tracking IDs, much like branding cattle---except even cattle get to wander over a wide range to graze and exercise! We don't treat our children and teens as precious human beings-- we treat them like livestock whom we have to 'track'.
And, children and teens don't value themselves either! Many would rather skip school than to get an education in a free land--- the USA that you, our Founding Fathers, made 'free'. School children don't understand just what a privilege education is or just how far an education can take them. They have no idea that our Founding Fathers were educated men, who studied by lamp light and made education a priority in their lives. How else could you, our Founding Fathers, write such a poetic narrative of specific rights for citizens, without being educated and thinking men!
Adults aren't much better, Sirs. We have the greatest technology today-- yet, unfortunately, we also have high illiteracy rates, high unemployment, and extreme cases of laziness. No, not everyone today is lazy, but many are and don't care about the rights of others in life. Many people feel "entitled", when none of us are entitled to anything---except the right to live in a democracy and to practice the rights hard won during the US Revolutionary War and before.
Your written document was intended to be a living, breathing example of how citizens could live within government, and government for the people. But your words have been dying out and many don't hear them (or don't pay attention to what they hear). Women have more rights today, and slavery was abolished... yet... still Blacks and Women of all races face discrimination.
And lastly, Sirs, we have become a nasty nation. People think nothing of being rude or hurtful to other people. They don't fight for a common good, like you each did, they just fight for themselves. People think nothing of "do to you first before you do something to me" -- even when no one is trying to hurt them. Yes, you fought-- but you fought for all of us, for generations and generations of people whom you would never, ever meet. You kept all of the future generations in mind as you penned your words by lamp light, and made hand copies of your words to pass along to common citizens.
Sirs, I'm glad you are not alive. You would see a very complex and difficult society, and a country which has lost its way. Hopefully, we won't go downhill much further.... if only we would re-read your words and take them to heart once again!
