The Foundpersons

Whenever I hear about how far the country has moved away from the principles established by the Founders, I remember that not too many years ago this country’s founders were called the Founding Fathers. I guess that’s sexist nowadays, or at least way too male-centered. While the US Constitution was being hammered out by the Founders in Philadelphia, they would end their day by going home to their spouses who I’m sure would query them relentlessly about their deliberations. So it is very likely that the distaff sides’ ideas were entered into the document they finally agreed upon. But nowhere do we honor their wives’ input; nowhere do we talk about the Foundresses. Somehow the politically correct loonies have missed out on that angle. It’s only a matter of time before they merge the Founders and Foundresses into the Foundpersons.

Foundpersons sounds better than Lostpersons.
