a few insights for a sunny sunday afternoon
our nation was founded as an experiment in human liberty. its institutions reflect the belief of our founders that men had their origin an destiny in god; that they were endowed by him with inalienable rights and had duties prescribed by moral law, and that human institutions ought primarily to help men develop their god-given possiblities.

edward gibbon, in his famous book, "decline and fall of the roman empire" set out five basic reasons why that great civilization died:
1.the undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis for human society.
2.higher and higher taxes.
3.the mad craze for pleasure, with sports and plays becoming more exciting, more brutal, and more immoral.
4.the building of great armaments when the real enemy was within-the decay of individual responsibility.
5.the decay of religion, whose leaders lost their touch with life, and their power to guide the people.
