Beer

                                                          There's a terrific passage in The Autobiography of Malcolm X in which Malcolm describes sitting around with his buddies, smoking Weed, and "Solving the World's Problems" which was SOOO GODDAMN INTERESTING" they decided to STOP SMOKING POT .   Gaud* I FUCKING LOVE THIS !!!    In one class Mrs. Cowden described the "Founding Fathers" as WORKERS who, after a day "in the fields" got to the local "Watering Hole" [tavern by any other name] and sat around swilling beer, and discussing the "What If's" of a new form of government .   You can see it rite ?

                            Believe me when I tell you I had only DISGUST for these "founding fathers" who I perceived as "Boston Fancies", ne'er-do-wells dressed in Shakespearean costumes, "Making Believe" they were Farmers .   Mrs. Cowden assured Us >>  'NO AND FUCK NO' ,  these guys actually WORKED and WORKED HARD at Existence, WITHOUT Abandoning their Educational Background .   Because of her Insistence, I came to see >myself< as, (get this) one of Them .   My parents were both "Blue Collar", my father got to 11th grade, my mother was taken out after 6th .   They also WORKED INSANELY HARD but had NO Education .   Now here I was, intimate with Hard Work, but residing in Academia .

                             It is IMPERATIVE to fully appreciate that these "Founding Fathers" brought with them WESTERN CIVILIZATION, specifically, the Remains of both the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment, otherwise known as "The Age of REASON .   Here it is where "Truth, Justice and the American Way" had ORIGIN = beer swillers talkin' Politics .   The Origin of American Democracy was "birthed" by >>>>>>BEER .    I mean, WHAT----THE----FUCK !!! 

                           Ya can't "make this shit up"  ya just CAN'T !
