>The conscience is mightier than the sword.<

That is true however

Just for fun, can you guess which company with over 500 employees can boast the following statistics relating to its employees? The figures were compiled over three years ago, but turnover has since been slight.

29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
117 have bankrupted at least two companies
19 have been convicted of writing bad checks
3 have been arrested for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are current defendants in lawsuits
84 are subject to fines and incarceration for drunk driving

If you guessed the United States Congress, you were a better player than I.

Year after year, our 535-member United States Congress passes laws to keep the rest of us in tow.

What was it you said about the conscience being mightier than the sword? Not amongst that crowd it isn’t. Please, don’t go off on a slant about how we need to pray for guidance in dealing with this situation. I know what needs to be done, unfortunately it is still against the law to hang thieves in this country.

True, but that is largely due to the apathy of the citizenry. 
 
We have abdicated our responsibility in favor of bread and a high-def, surround sound circus.
 
When our representatives become corrupt and stray from their purpose, WE should be relentless in shining the light of truth upon them and demanding justice.  It's pretty simple: they are not doing their job because WE are not doing ours. 
 
WE have been neglecting the eternal vigilance required for freedom.
