Beauty and the Founding Fathers

Founding Fathers coverPeanuts cartoons often have sage words of wisdom and advice. Here’s one I like:

Charlie Brown says to Lucy who is looking in a hand held mirror: “ . . . and besides, never forget that beauty is only skin deep!”

Lucy responds with vehemence: “I DENY THAT! My beauty in not only on the surface, I goes down deep . . . layer after layer, after layer, after layer!”

She looks back into her hand held mirror and says: “Yes sir!”

Then adds: “I have very think beauty!’

I think that same process could be applied to the Founding Fathers of America! Just change the word beauty to the work WISDOM! These were men, and women, of unparalleled wisdom! Never before, or since, have a group of 55 or 56 men, and their respective women, been able to come together to accomplish so much!

I believe that we should pay attention to what they taught us—even more than we should listen to Lucy!
