> I would never understand US fascination with "Founding Fathers"

Have you read any of their writing? A lot of it is timelessly insightful and they were very intelligent men.

> having answers to all the questions for all the times

This gives away that you haven't read them, because they themselves explicitly denied having answers for all time, and stated that the government needed to evolve with the governed.






Perhaps you should read their comment again: they never said the "Founding Fathers" claimed to have eternal answers, rather they pointed out the odd ritualised deference by people today to things written hundreds of years ago by people who (by your own admission) explained that the things they wrote would likely not be entirely applicable to the future.
