Excerpt: In the context of his time, I understand the sentiments expressed by our esteemed Founder, but later generations proved the substance of his words wrong. It was assumed by Adams that successive generations would be imbued with the patriotic virtues required to sustain Liberty. But there is no such inherited legacy, as Thomas Paine noted in his 1776 pamphlet, Common Sense: "When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary." (Worth reading; a lot of truth in this. Ron P.)
