Computer problems again forcing me, against my natural inclinations, to be brief...I'll only say that my sense of the US Constitution is that it was not hypocritical in its declaration of "all me created equal". Instead I believe that Jefferson(himself a slave-owner),Franklin, Adams and others were consciously declaring that this was as it should be, despite the bigotry and hypocrisy of the time. We have spent two hundred years attempting to live up to these brilliant words.
