If I wanted to do something really really cute to you, while you were only wearing a plane hanes t-shirt, what color would i have to paint my toenails?
–Liam
Something really really cute to me? Oooooooh. ::sigh:: Any color you want. Although I am partial to boys in black nailpolish that wear eyeliner. (Isn’t there something totally hot about guys in eyeliner?! Or is that just me?)
Hey, if the Articles of Confederation was such a terrible system of government, then how come all those smart people from the Continental Congress–guys like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson–thought it was a good idea? Sincerely

Part of what makes the founding fathers super cool (other than the fact that they were all documented members of the Masons and Knights Templar and other cults as well) is the Articles of Confederation. They drew up a map as to how the new country should be ruled, realized after it was in practice that theory didn’t always account for the way things actually worked, came back to the drawing board, and come up with something better. They thought it was a good idea but then said “hell no, this sucks.” And they put down their pride and rewrote the whole thing.
In reality, the Articles of Confederation didn’t account for everything the government needed. It did not outline all of the powers of Congress, didn’t account for foreign realtions, the true power of the executive branch, and the way that the army was to be governed. It’s like when little kids form a club and at first it just says “Club Rules: no girls allowed.” But then they realize that someone has to enforce that rule, so they write “Club Rules: 1. No Girls Allowed. 1A. Johnny will stand by the door and tell us when girls are near so we can dump water on them.” And soon they realize that they have to scrap the whole thing and rewrite a detailed plan in case someday they have to actually interact with girls in a strategic alliance against adults, so they tear the piece of paper apart and instead write a governing document that borrowed from several countries’/clubs’ documents and that other countries/clubs would envy and emulate for centuries to come.
So that explains the scrapping of genius. Now let me illustrate what would have happend if our founding fathers weren’t awesome. When I was in high school, my friend Super Cool planned prom a certain way, and not everyone agreed with the way he had planned prom, and they grew to resent the way that Super Cool had elected himself leader of our friends. So our usually tight-knit group of friends split and there were two factions (Super Cool’s Nazi Prom and the “We’re going to the Japanese Steakhouse and not thinking too much about it” faction). Instead of going back to the drawing board and coming up with something that suited everyone, Super Cool stuck to his guns and prom became a divided affair that no one really enjoyed as much as we could have had we all stuck together. I’m glad our founding father’s didn’t ruin our Nation’s Prom. That would have sucked.
And that’s why they ruled and were super smart to boot!
