Recorded about 2 years ago from the date of this re-release, discussion of the proper role of our military is never ill-timed. Our service men and women deserve that we recognize its importance and its mission.

Despite many of the outcries from some segments of society about recent Supreme Court decisions, we all should be thankful for the Court's willingness to step back into its proper role, leaving policy decisions to the political branches and the people. That is what this episode celebrates.

The principles that form the underpinning for the creation of the United States are as enduring as they are unique in the world. This episode digs a little more deeply into the founders views on human nature and knowledge of past governments that resulted in the intricately woven system we have today. No matter any personal faults of those who created this nation, efforts to cast aside these founding principles - and the values and morals that instruct them - would be a sure step toward collapse.

This episode discusses the key cause of any societal decline and collapse and uses that framework to address just a sampling of issues facing America today to stress the need to return to a shared set of principles consistent with our own social contract, the U.S. Constitution.
