In addition to separation of church and state, we need separation of corporation and state

If the Founding Fathers were still alive today, I wonder what they would think of all this.

Assuming they were not struck dead by future shock (photo, radio, television, telephone, mobile handsets), they would lose their damn minds that Black people have escaped slavery, non-landholders can usually vote, and the Presidency is (mostly) determined by the popular vote.

I do not think any of the founders, however amorphously the term is applied, would have interesting thoughts about cryptosystems for the examination of private photographs stored in commercial cloud setups.

They would die promptly from any of a number of diseases common to us that they have no natural immunity to.

Yeah I think it wilted a while ago, as fun as it might be to think about.
