Well said, Rich; I'm impressed. This is the kind of thing I read The Cellar -- or any other fairly brainy BBS -- for.
Though I don't know why you think that page is "on Fox" -- the only Fox mentioned thereon is one Colonel Wesley Fox.
I took that oath myself, and I do find it rather continues to inform my life and its philosophy to this day. Not bad for gov't issue.
Don't fret about "forcing" our constitution on anybody, Pierce: in the instances where it's been done, it's worked very well, to the prosperity and stability of the nations so forced. I think this is because our combination of political and economic liberty is not something unique to America -- we were just the first ones to do it -- but that it will work for any humans, anywhere, as long as other, more grasping, humans don't queer it for everyone.
My time on earth has given me more faith in democracy, liberty, and capitalism than you yet have, Pierce.
