But they were not the original stock of America. The original stock was inclined more to independent mindedness and self reliance. Given the wrong stock, all the rules in the world will not convert a sow's ear to a silk stocking. Yes, law and economics can be important factors. However, in themselves, they are NOT determinants. In the mix is needed a quality: the quality of the independent minded citizen. Put that quality in the mix and we can fashion a city on a hill. But that quality is drowned when flooded under unassimilable, codependent types, who abhor independent mindedness and instead must abuse or be abused. Mere reason has little chance for changing people who have been made disposed, under genetics or acculturation from early age, to pre-American modes of feudal codependence. America now finds her education and immigration policies poised to banish self governance, by independent minded people, from Earth. Americans will not reassert their inheritance with mere reason. They will need to be receptive to, and respectful of, a source of higher inspiration. Pray that experience will teach America, and not sink her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
