Reality Is About What Works Not Utopian Dreams That Turn Into Nightmares

SEE HERE What is it that brought about a generation of great men as exemplified in the Founders of the United States?  Was it just some genetic accident that so many brilliant men came together at this time and place?  Or was it because they were brought up in the right way?  Was it because they honored the past and learned from it what to avoid and what to support?  In our own day we seem to have lost our way.  It might be useful to study what worked in the past.  It's called learning from experience and the best experience is the one you personally don't have to relive.  Revolutions are a nasty business.  Perhaps we should learn from those who brought us our freedom.
