thanks, GREAT link. Tocqueville never seems to age; just as mind-blowing and subversive when I’m 59 as when I was 17.

That book is worth a read.

There was an awful lot of European skepticism about the American Experiment; de Tocqueville's point was that the American experiment could work without the usual constraints imposed by the European monarchies because Americans, with their strong religious faith, policed themselves.

I think it's become clear that without the self-policing, this experiment simply doesn't work.
