An accurate observation. Understanding the secular nature, and application of "the laws of nature and of nature's God" - Government is not reason, it is not eloquence it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; (attributed to George Washington). The de jure States united was to be a body politic with the individuals being the sovereigns and the public officials - servants.

Servants have become our masters. Our Declaration of Independence has become a suicide pact of Individualist.

If we must have any government involvement then let it be state and local. Nationalism is dangerous.
