Following in the Footsteps of the Founding Fathers

In today’s well-connected, social-media-driven society, we are constantly hearing about the latest government usurpation or the next thing that will doom society. We hear pundits’ dire warnings that the United States will collapse within the next several months due to this thing or that thing, or that America will be destroyed in a nuclear war, or that we’re only so many seconds before midnight on the doomsday clock.
