"No compact among men ... can be pronounced everlasting and inviolable, and if I may so express myself, that no Wall of words, that no mound of parchment can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition on the one side, aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals on the other."
—George Washington, draft of first Inaugural Address, 1789

Pray for revival! People need to come to a place of repentence. Besides, otherwise, we may get socialism. God will not let His people be governed by tyrants, unless the immoral anarchy would be worse. But, you can't have a constitutional government without a morally informed population. So... again... pray for revival!
