We've Come a Long Way

We've come a long way from we started with this new experiment in "America." We have the foundation of a nation like no other on earth. It is a nation that has stood against some of the evils of time and has succumbed to some as well. It goes without saying that our founding father's weren't looking for a career when they went to the selected gathering points to represent their fellow citizens. They weren't grandstanding about their record and how a vote for them was vote for the future. Matter of fact they looked down on such and did not actively campaign. How well they did sticking to the principles they held dear to their hearts....can we find such fellow citizens today to approach public office with such an outlook? Politics as a career? Is that what it is all about? Is that why we are where we are? Think about it.
