Okay.  So, no postings of the Federalist Papers -- considered the
third most important document in the USA, after the Constitution and
Bill of Rights.

Because, after all, [almost?] all of it was written by anonymous authors.

And anyway, all of 'em were known criminals and terrorists,
"insurgents" who had organized armed attacks against "proper
authority" [the previous King George] and murdered innocent troops.
Certainly wouldn't want any of THOSE kinds of radicals posting on New
Jersey's forums!

How times change.
