While that was one of the more impressive post-modernist, ultra-materialist stream-of-consciousness reviews of 20th media that I have ever seen, you'd really need to start teasing apart a few of the separate issues you have working there before we can discuss it terms of how to deal with unwanted requests for friendhip in the game.
Since it won't tie in that well, I'd just like to say that I see the Constitution as a document written in an atmosphere of people being very excited by Adam Smith and the economic school that was taking hold in Scotland at the end of the 18th century. If we're pointing fingers at someone for touching off the kind of laissez-faire capitalism that is so romantically popular today, then my vote goes with Lorenzo di Medici and Jacob Fugger.
EDIT: To the above posters, I'm pretty sure that was just a circuitous way to suggest that my previous posts were not particularly relevant, and too pretentious. Ah well, I still say the exact phrase "What would be the basis of our friendship?" works surprisingly consistently.
