America's Forefathers, What Would They Think Now?

    Sometimes, I like to ponder, what America's forefathers, would think if they could come back and see what America, has become today. No doubt the founding fathers, would be impressed with the many technological advances America, has made over the last 237 years.I can imagine how impressed they would be with the telephone, the car, space travel, various home appliances not to mention,  the ability for nearly everyone in America, to be able to easily own any one of these devices.

    The founding fathers, would probably want to see many of America's colleges and universities. I think they would be amazed with how quickly knowledge  can be accessed and with the speed that knowledge can be shared around the globe in a matter of seconds through the use of satellites and computers. Indeed, I think America's forefather's, would be impressed with the many advancements America, has been able to make until they took a closer look at American society today and then realized how we now use these advancements. I t is true that technology, has made life in America,  much easier and technology in and of itself is neither good  or bad it it all depends on the way it is used. The same computer that can help a student with their home work is the same computer a hacker can use to raid some one's personal information.

    I wonder, what the founding fathers would think, if they could visit Washington, and see just what goes on inside the halls of government? Who knows maybe, they would say not much has changed as far as basic politics is concerned after all politics, has always been something of a dirty business. I think the founding fathers would be shocked however when they saw how many of our political leaders in government have no regard for the Constitution whatsoever Indeed many in government at best often abuse the Constitution and at worst often totally ignore it and unfortunately, the same can be said for the Bible.I think the founding fathers would be amazed, at how many churches in America, are now only empty religious buildings where people once went to church.

    Finally, I wonder what the founding fathers, would think after taking some time to look at the basic culture in America, today? What would they think if the saw much of the youth of America today? I'm afraid they might think that many in America, have become spoiled and indeed in many cases lazy.Many in America, now expect government to provide them with nearly everything in fact, what ever the government doesn't provide right now is probably only because some progressive liberal hasn't thought of it yet! Some times, I think the founding fathers would observe how selfish many Americans,  have become and remember to tremendous price they paid for American freedom and then ask themselves was it really worth it when they see how many in America, now take their freedom and all the blessings, that come with it for granted. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.
