“No form of government can make a vicious and ignorant people happy.—When the majority of our citizens becomes corrupt, even our well ballanced constitution cannot save us from slavery and ruin. Let it therefore be the unceasing study of all who love their country, to promote virtue and dispense knowledge through the whole extent of our settlements.” – David Ramsay, Columbia Herald, June 5, 1788

I’m afraid it’s far too late and we are far too vicious and ignorant and corrupt and lazy.
On that happy note…I’ve missed you.

I’ve missed you, too. I hope all is going well with you (home, family, book, all else).
