Calling for a new Constitutional convention (for which all current legislators and officeholders would be ineligible to serve) might be one place to start, but the problems are pervasive at all social and political levels. The nation may be beyond help at this point: read <i>Empire of Debt</i> (2d ed. 2009) to see how poorly empires that preceded ours have fared as they stretched their resources thinner and thinner, and tried to provide ever more and more for their own citizens by spending more than their income.<br /><br />That's why I ended my post as I did. As Israel managed several times in its own past, there has to be a collective decision to turn back to God, and pray for his mercy on us all. Perhaps He may then show us the leaders that we will need in order to recover our ability once again to function as a shining beacon on a hill. The one thing that is as certain as death, however, is that if we continue to reject Him and believe that we can do better on our own (and worse, mock Him in doing so), we will go the way of every other empire that has ever been.A.
