Re: Does America today embody the spirit of the Declaration of Independence?

Description: If the Founding Fathers came back today, they'd be amazed to see that the system still exhists.

Transcript: I think if John Adams, Jefferson was in Hamilton the others were to come back today. They would be amazed that the system of government that they created is still in place so that constitution is still there that we still have the bill of rights at that they created and I think they would be very proud of that we have an independent judiciary for example that the legislature is in two parts, senate in the house and at the president is the chief executive, that would all please them enormously because the odds were there would not survive, that the nation is survived, it did not pull itself apart. They would be amazed by our chemistry, our medicine, our capacity to build skyscrapers and bridges and all of that the speed at which we communicate and the speed at which we move from one place to another. I think they would think they would feel that we were rather soft and that we really hadn’t been through any thing like they had experienced, there I think that their might turn little at the role of money in our politics now and the degree to which politics has been turned into merchandizing and marketing and advertising and valued.
