A society in which men and women are governed by belief in an enduring moral order, by a strong sense of right and wrong, by personal convictions about justice and honor, will be a good society—whatever political machinery it may utilize; while a society in which men and women are morally adrift, ignorant of norms, and intent chiefly upon gratification of appetites, will be a bad society—no matter how many people vote and no matter how liberal its formal constitution may be.
—Russell Kirk

    Damn that's deep.. the collective moral order and an individual's convictions are creations of what? the arms of government, religion, media, secret world order societies?? obviously no one entity can claim complete responsibility , but who's culpable for the downturn in America's culture lately?
