From L. Neal Smith, "Government is a Disease Masquerading as it's own Cure".

A tome perhaps, and a very accurate one. Anonymous never varies from his ultra left wing position.

Ron, I was raised in a protestant Bible church. The pastor was a Moody Bible Institute grad.

I really like J Carlton's comment.

Teach children how to think, not what to think. I was raised in a fundamentalist church and it took me years to recover .

We need to get rid of the War on Drugs. See LEAP.cc

As someone said, we are here to help others, what the others are here for, I don't know.

I rarely disagree with E Archer, but the time is now. I seriously doubt that altruism is the"modus operandi of most governments or religions". Governments steal from productive citizens and give to the non producers and I don't call this altruism. I call it theft.

Jefferson was one of the best.

Who could argue with this quote.

Mike, I have a small problem with your term "Christian based Constitution". Christian is a generic term which means different things to different people. Go to several churches with different definitions of Christianity and they will all say that they are right. Perhaps a morally or ethically based Constitution might be better terms. Remember, Jefferson and Franklin were Deists, not Christians, but were certainly moral and ethical.

A church is a business and I have a problem with the tax exempt status thereof.

The "fundamental flaw" with the War on Drugs is that it causes massive amounts of harm to this nation and doesn't solve anything. Check out LEAP.cc to get more information on this evil monstrosity.

Mike and Mike said it very well.

Ain't it the truth.

Says a lot about the current drive to disarm the USA.

Both Mikes said it well.

From one of the worst five presidents in history. This includes the current one, Jimmy Carter,and old Dishonest Abe.

Ron w13,Or, very interesting, but I have a small problem with one of your lines. "One would need to trust in God to endure the Chaos". This sounds about right to any fundamentalist but I don't think it's necessarily true. It certainly could be for some individuals but not all.

I agree with Mike, "achieve" should be "become."

Vince Lombardi said,'Winning is a habit, unfortunately, so is losing."

E Archer and Joe got it right.

Cal, some folk are just more equal than others.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

E Archer, he would probably go to jail for contempt of court .
