Our Founding Fathers were incredibly naive in that they believed society would remain based on Morality, Values, and the ideals of their day and age. To that end they failed to include the Duties and Responsibilities of the Citizenry along with the Rights and Freedoms afforded to them. Over the past two centuries our society and culture have become devoid of the ideals of that day and age. We have advanced technologically and retreated morally at about the same pace. Personal Responsibility is only the tip of the iceburg.
When the citizenry loses its ability to maintain good order in society, someone must step in and fix the problem. I see no other option beyond the Government to do so.
That's a wise assessment, and true. On the other hand, we wouldn't need somebody to step in and fix the problem if somebody hadn't stepped in and caused the problem.
