Morning y’all

After drafting the U.S. constitution in September 1787, the 55 signers celebrated and their bar tab
included; 12 beers, 22 bottles of port, 8 bottles of whiskey, 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret,
8 bottles of hard-cider along with 7 large bowls of alcoholic punch that according to one onlooker,
was large enough that “ducks could swim in them”.

It would have been more interesting if they'd consumed that before drafting the US Constitution!

They would consume TWICE the amount if they could see what politicians have done with it since.

Drafting the constitution is ONE thing, making our politicians LIVE by it is another! Today they are out of their minds!!! Maybe they should be drunk!!!

A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.
