Surrendering Liberties

"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." --Samuel Adams

Statements like this show just how smart the founding fathers were. They knew how low that man could sink because they too were men that had the same temptations as all men (and women). - Sounds like education and the 10 commandments is a good cure for lifting the weight.
