From The 5000 Year Leap

From The 5000 Year Leap
“Franklin warned that high salaries for government offices are the best way to attract SCOUNDRELS and drive from the halls of public office those men who possess true merit and virtue.
He asked: And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable preeminence’ through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention, the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of characters?
It will NOT be the wise and the moderate, the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust.
It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits.”
“The 4th Principle: Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained.”
Now I ask you what do we have today in Washington D.C.?
Do you not sometimes have to go back to go forward?
