QuoteBut should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practising iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Hamas is all there is left to fill the vacuum.

Quote from: mongers on October 10, 2025, 04:59:22 PM'The Goodfather II' - seen for the first time, Al Pacino rules, no meaningful artistic comments from me.Yes, because it's the last one in the series and it brings closure to the series, but it's not as good as the other 2.
Is the third one worth a viewing?
