I'm with you. Its very difficult to find people like you who think practically and consider side-effects, etc.

I'm curious as to whether this has changed over time. And how could the founding fathers have such foresight.

They learned to self censor, lest they be shouted down and branded for heresy by the left wing ideologues with an axe to grind.

Isn't it obvious? They've been censored. Matt Lauer can't even ask legitimate questions about Clinton's private email server without being publicly censured for being a "bad" journalist.

What a joke.
