This week Dana starts out with these thoughts:
In an 1821 letter to Nathaniel Macon, Thomas Jefferson wrote,
Our government is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction; to wit: by consolidation first and then corruption, its necessary consequence. The engine of consolidation will be the Federal judiciary; the two other branches the corrupting and corrupted instruments.The Carnival contains posts about politics, education, life, liberty, property, conservative, and libertarianism.
Happy reading!

Thanks, Judy!
You know, sometimes when I read through some of these old texts, and particularly through the many warning given us, I wonder if the founders walked through our current nation and saw the problems.
Well I think they had experienced much of what we are dealing with - and they were really amazing students of history. You know that the more things change the more they stay the same. Our issues and problems are just modern versions of the same stuff that happened in Rome and Sparta and all through the ages.
The technology and the names change but mankind is pretty much the same animal with the same vices and ambitions.
I think our founders tried to make a nation that would be built around that knowledge.
