Here is the opening paragraph of a short article worth a quick read, even though the writer is a god-ist. It reminds us the supreme importance of the Constitution of the United States and warns us that we are losing its protection - the protection of the rule of law:
Constitution Day, which falls on Sept. 17, is the national observance holiday that most have never heard of. Yet this year it may be our most important holiday to understand, for all our pressing national problems today flow from corruption and a departure from governance and law enforcement consistent with the Constitution. As a result, our country is threatened more now than at any other time since the Civil War broke out in 1861.
