"I think it is odd and sad that we as a Americans have advanced so much in the world of technology, medical treatments, medications, communications; yet, we have regressed in our political truths and in our educational processes."
I must say I totally agree with the assessment of today's political climate put forth by the author of the above statement and it sparked me into wondering ...Why has this happened?
I found after much thought and research, that the regression of which the author spoke is the direct result of a departure from the principles on which our country was founded. It is the intrusive grasp of the central government into the personal lives of the citizens that has caused the dramatic divide along ideological ideals that we see today. The government's constant meddling in the personal affairs of its people has introduced a strife between the masses to which has been allowed to manifest itself into an almost unbreachable chasm. Our country was a far better place when people understood what Thomas Paine meant when he wrote, "That government is best, governs least."
I hope and pray that we may regain that notion once again
