Happy Constitution Day, everybody!!



Today is the 230th anniversary of the formal signing of our Constitution by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, 1787. For the first time in human history, a system of government had been written down and agreed to by "we, the people of the United States".

Can anybody imagine that great document being negotiated/written today, in the age of the Tea Party and Twitter??
