    I feel like virtually all of The Founding Fathers would have definitely moved to ban it except Ben Franklin, who would have vehemently opposed them.

    This kinda supports but also detracts from the implications that follow from the OOP:

    • The Founding Fathers would probably have largely agreed that such things should be banned.

    • Why should we fawn over all of the opinions of people two centuries dead? Surely they got some things right and some things wrong, yes?
