If something has worked for centuries, why do away with it? If certain laws have kept people safe, why do away with them? Yes, times change. But some things will never change. Human nature must be protected from itself. We are not lower animals without a sense of morality. But we are capable of becoming beast-like if we do not keep ourselves "in check." How do we do that? By supporting principles that keep us civilized. Where do we get those principles? From a source that works. From a source that has demonstrated success. From a source that is perfect. From a source that has not only proven to respect humanity, but a source that loves it. I am a pragmatist. If something works, do not toss it out.
"The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded." C. L. De Montesquieu (1689-1755)
