God lies ahead. I convince myself and constantly repeat to myself that: He depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.
Don't you dare besmirch the name of Congress. They are patriotic Americans trying to dress and feed themselves.

The wisdom of the masses is not always wise. You could put a lot of things to a vote-you could have put anti-miscegenation laws to a vote, and that would have passed pretty handily.
