- Oh dear. Dougie doesn't understand what I said again.
-
- Do try and learn something about something, Dougie. Did "We the
- people" write or vote on the Constitution? Did women vote on the
- COnstitution or did women vote for the representatives who ratified
- the Constitution? Did black people vote? Did anyone who was not
- white, male, and propertied have anything to do with the writing
- of the document? Were there many who were not white, male, and
- propertied vote for ratification?
-
- I realize that, by taking my remarks out of context (Doogie's favorite
- tehnique) you are trying to put me in the position of sounding like
- I am attacking the Constitution, which I am not nor was I doing.
- In fact, the article from which you extracted my remarks specifically
- praised the COnstitution. So you fail there too.
-
- I do wish you had some character to assassinate, Doogie. If you
- had any character at all it might not be so damn dull, always
- having to point out that you are a deceptive little cretin with
- little of worth to say and many lies to tell.
