”Anti-social behavior threatens to become the norm. Traditional values are being trampled and anarchy at the expense of others is becoming more prevalent. Government interference in our lives is increasing and the growth must be reversed.”

The authority of the social order is never going to preserve a society of individuals, unless or until those individuals take hold of their natural capacities to stand for the noble destiny of human beings. This course is marked by progress toward the liberation of individuals from the tyranny of kings, dogma, and ordered establishment.

Our era is no more naturally obliged to the authority of its predecessors than any other. Since we cannot trust completely in the rule of order or authority to guarantee our progress, we must take the responsibility in hand ourselves.

As individuals reclaim this autonomy within their own generation, society thrives; as they become cynical, it decays.
