The vote that counts is one that the Constitution cannot arrange for.
It’s one that God has arranged for in our hearts, every one of them. Without getting this one right, the rest won’t matter. If this one is gotten right, everything else will be blessed.
It is the rose bush that bears the roses, not the roses that bear the rose bush.
This is why our education system has been turned away from the classics. With public ignorance as a foundation history can be repeated.
Too many components have been tampered with. You can’t turn the vehicle around as it speeds toward destruction. Something to do with momentum, I think.
Destroy the vehicle, and then, IF you survive, walk back.
I read this work years ago. the thing I remember most is political infighting and shenanigans have not changed in two thousand years. The ONLY difference is today a disgraced politician goes home to “be with his family” and write a book. Back then he went home and kills himself.
A convention of states is needed to to restrain our politicians - they have shown that they will not restrain themselves, and seem incapable of stopping stopping themselves from totally bankrupting of the country.
All their incentives are structured against the good of the country. They pander to donors who get them re-elected, and make them rich. The donors are paid a thousandfold from the public treasury, and use their influence to have the economy inefficiently rigged in their favor.
They must be restrained. They won’t vote for it themselves.
