The quote by John Adam could not be closer to witnessing what we are seeing happening in our government today. It is "amazing" the foresight our founding fathers had as they formed the government which has served our country well for 200 plus years. What is even more "amazing" is the decline we have seen in our country in the last four and a half years. Much of the decline has resulted from the breakdown in the family unit. I think another contributing factor is the deterioration of our educational system. It is a known fact that the faculty in our institutions of higher learning have taken on a predominant liberal view toward the education of our young students. Numerous surveys have shown that many of the younger generation of today have little understanding of the three branches of our governmental system and can be easily misled{or lied to} about what is best for the continuation of our democratic form of government. It is understandable how many of our citizens[for whatever the reason} do not possess the knowledge to know what is best for them as an individual and for the country as a whole, and can be easily manipulated. What is not understandable and is not excusable is that we have elected officials(who are supposed to be well educated), who are elected to represent the will of the people and the good of the country, but instead are more interested in their own well being and getting reelected. I don't see how any of our elected officials{democrats, republicans, or independents} can see anything good that has happened in our government in the last four and a half years. We(the United States) are no longer respected around the world. The reasons we find ourselves in this position are too numerous to try to enumerate.
