Ah, the wisdom of the past. I could re-post these all day
The Federalist Patriot
Founders' Quote Daily
"As there is a degree of depravity in mankind which requiresa certain degree of circumspection and distrust: So there are other qualities in human nature, which justify a certain portion of esteem and confidence. Republican government presupposes the existence of these qualities in a higher degree than any other form. Were the pictures which have been drawn by the political jealousy of some among us, faithful likenesses of the human character, the inference would be that there is not sufficient virtue among men for self-government; and that nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another."
-- James Madison (Federalist No. 55, 15 February 1788)
I believe in the good nature of man which is why I advocate getting rid of government education and Socialism Security. We will survive and take care of things without being told to by govmint overseers.
