I believe I steered straight into the heart of it, not away from it at all.
And, I agree. It does appear to have that Franklin humor... Dave

The moral code enforced during the founders' time was much stricter than ours.

Not necessarily "enforced" as simply what was expected behaviour, yet I am willing to bet that there were proportionally as many "out of wedlock" babies then as now.
One of the things that a study of genealogy will show you is that the more things change the more they stay the same.

I think you right there. I also believe that you comment "Not necessarily "enforced" as simply what was expected behaviour" is where we have strayed badly. It's hard to have a sense of expected behavior when nothing is expected and all behavior is measured by degree.

It would be nice, I'd like to pay my taxes with it lol.
Rob, I remember slowly coming to the realisation that everyone alive before the 1970s wasn't a prude  But there was a very clear line between public and private, and 'good' was always held up in public. And the divorce rate, and where were all the jails back then? Pete
