Yes I remember Caligula. And I also remember that also happened towards the end of the Roman Empire. However, the difference between the Roman Empire and these United States of America is that 90% of the signers of the Constitution were Bible believing Christians and involved in their churches instead of worshipping idols

Yes at any time in history, you have had husbands and wives cheating on each other and single people having multiple sex partners. But not many other times in history has it come to the point where the norm is considered strange and the strange considered norm. The inmates have taken over and the Republic while long ago mortally wounded is breathing its last gasps. These 'returns' to Constitutional beliefs that so many of us want around here are tied directly to the moral beliefs the Founders had. A different way of thinking I feel many are not willing to take upon themselves. They want to continue in their hedonistic pleasures while having less government. That's not what the Founders envisioned, EVER. And if it does happen with the morality change, it will fail guaranteed

And if you believe that almost all of them were aboslutely faithful to your wives then you are living in fantasyland.

Quite the drama queen aren't you, Geraldine? This Republic is strong, and shall remain strong even under the onslaught of your dogmatic cess. Oh, god, whatever happened to our Victorian ideals?
