    Yes.

    And that what I've tried to articulate as well. As brilliant as our model was, and the Constitution which defined it, it only genuinely works with some level of shared values. We can always bicker over the details but there has to be agreement on the fundamental issues for experiment to work.

    Good vid. I don't think everyone needs to have the same religion but at least respect the founding values. And that isn't the case anymore.
