^The obvious reason for that Vundy is because America is a nation founded on Christian principles. Our laws were concieved and set in place consistent with Christian perceptions of morality. Like I have mentioned before, the reason we find ourselves gridlocked socially and politically is because we abandoned the authority for that foundation which is of course, the Holy Scriptures. Now therefore, all that matters is what the majority wants. Last election we saw that the majority wanted to continue the fiscally suicidal policies which guarantee the on going of government handouts. When a society becomes obliged to the voters devoid of a strong moral compass selfish desires rule the day. And obviously, unscruptulous politicians are willing to use the people's selfishness to benefit their own selfish, and in our case pompous ends.

Looks a lot like the beginning of the end to me.
