"Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind."
Thomas Jefferson clearly articulated the challenge America faces in the 21st Century.
"Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed - more enlightened - as new discoveries are made - new truths are disclosed - and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances - institutions must advance also and keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him as a boy - as a civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."

Great quote. This is the 21st Century. It is about time our Political leaders start to realize this & act like they have a clue.
id like to point out that quote may have been said by Thomas, but i belive you will find that it was a direct quotation itself from Sir Fracias Bacon, who infact Predates Thomas Jefferson.
thankyou.
