Yeah, except in modern times even the righties can't mind their own business for anything. They want to run peoples lives right down to what we do in the privacy of our own homes. They won't be happy until everyone is marching to their tune. This is another of life in Americas great ironies. That those who scream about individual choices and freedom the most seem to be the ones who are least tolerant of things that fall outside of their ideological box.

Yep. Consider for a moment that the word "secular" has taken on a negative connotation here by the Right Wing, yet they're the first insisting on the need for secular governments in the new Mideast. To me, Pat Robertson and his ilk are a greater threat to my freedom and well-being than the Muslim Brotherhood.

Btw, I thought it was funny. I'm sure the founders were dead serious (although it's attributed to Franklin, I can't help but see a little smirk on him in my minds eye  )

I believe I steered straight into the heart of it, not away from it at all.
And, I agree. It does appear to have that Franklin humor...
