Great Discussion Tonight on Citizenship; You gotta want it!

No doubt about it citizenship is hard work. Being a Conscientious citizen takes a lot of study and research. Who to vote for what bills to support, what causes are worthy, and how do I get my voice heard? I had a great conversation this evening with two very passionate citizens, each with her own view of the world. One was very liberal and agnostic, the other very conservative and religious, each had an intelligent point of view and was very articulate in getting it across. We were talking about the Founding Fathers and how they seemed to be guided by Providence (which can be interpreted as Divine Intervention) to write the Constitution. We talked about the fact that most of the Founding Fathers were profoundly religious and remarked at the time that only a moral people would be able to keep what they had established. In other words a good and moral people were the key ingredient to the success of our country, and when our citizenship ceases to be moral we will cease to be a great country. John Adams said
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

"Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases."
John Adams
