There are three points of doctrine the belief of which forms the foundation of all morality. The first is the existence of God; the second is the immortality of the human soul; and the third is a future state of rewards and punishments. Suppose it possible for a man to disbelieve either of these three articles of faith and that man will have no conscience, he will have no other law than that of the tiger or the shark. The laws of man may bind him in chains or may put him to death, but they never can make him wise, virtuous, or happy. John Quincy Adams

The American people endorse this basic approach: They want to fix what’s broken, but they don’t want to destroy the system and rebuild it in the image of the Post Office. That’s where they disagree with the Clinton Administration and its Congressional allies. That is the great lesson of the current health care debate. Phil Gramm
