True. And conversely, our modern government has proven itself to be the most immoral entity of all.
Add to this that far too large a percentage of "Our Fellow Americans" are also neither trusting or themselves trustworthy.
Trust. It's hard to come by these days.
The US Constitution assumes a moral people.
Snipped FRom a letter John Adams sent to the Massachusetts Militia, 11 October 1798:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
As you correctly note, “. . . our modern government has proven itself to be the most immoral entity of all.”
We have our work cut out for us if we are to SAVE AMERICA!
