Peter,
It is PRECISELY that human component of our system that currently frightens hell out of me — just as it has those before us.
“Yes, we did produce a near perfect republic but will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path to destruction.” Thomas Jefferson
“Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; if it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.” — Judge Learned Hand, 1944
We SEEM to have become a disturingly CHARACTERLESS people and SEEM to be poised to elect a deeply CHARACTERLESS, CORRUPT leader.
Join me in praying that my cynicism is unwarranted and that I am wrong.
“Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; if it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.” — Judge Learned Hand, 1944
