How would George Washington do today?

[Perd Hapley]

Actually, it is we who live in a much different America.

I believe I just said that. 

There are not many people that are not happy that the slavery prevelent at the time of Washington in America is gone, but the reason that it is a different America is that it has been changed by people with an agenda to do so.

Meaning what?  Are "change" and "agenda" bad things?  Washington was involved in both. 

[K Frame]

Of course not.

The Founders and Framers had no agenda at all!

They just sort of threw it all together without knowing what they were doing. 

[LAK]

Fistful,

It depends what you mean by change. They certainly did have an agenda; to ensure that some of the more undesirable, oppressive and destructive aspects of typical european government, among others, were not permitted to oppress us here.

Mr. Irwin,

And, for example, what was their agenda concerning what our monetary system should be and why?
