We have railed about the Founding Fathers giving us a constitution that failed when confronted by a con man able to develop a rabid cult following. We fear we were not only unkind in that criticism, but wrong and wrong-headed. As James Madison said at a ratifying convention, "To suppose that any form of Government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people is a chimerical idea." We apologize.
