Articles expressing concerns about trends in contemporary culture have been appearing consistently in my local newspaper. Recent topics include hateful racial remarks, coarse and vulgar comments, and cheating on assignments and tests in public schools and colleges.

What becomes intuitively obvious to the most casual observer is that America's Founders were spot-on-target in their assessment of the required foundation upon which this Constitutional Republic form of government was built. All of them, to a person, expressed in some form their assumption of freedom's prerequisite. Gouverneur Morris was an author of the final draft of our Constitution. He originated the phrase, "We the people of the United States." Offering his experience in government formation to France, he wrote:

Religion is the only solid basis of good morals; therefore education should teach the precepts of religion, and the duties of man toward God."

In the modern rush to abandon America's foundational principles, is it any wonder that so many are perplexed and completely overwhelmed by this contemporary large-scale disregard for moral behavior?
