[zitboy_rev_11_3]

we can't force a group of people with a cultural imperative that is substantially different than ours, to act like us.

a constitutional foundation is/will be the hard-fought remedy, and will be a natural moderating mechanism

And by bringing the sects together, and mixing them with the mass of others.....we shall soften their asperities, liberalize and neutralize their prejudices

"The endeavors to enlighten on the fate which awaits their present course of life, to induce them to exercise their reason, follow its dictates and change their pursuits with the change of circumstances have powerful obstacles to encounter; they are combated by the habits of their bodies, prejudices of their minds, ignorance, pride, and the influence of interested and crafty individuals among them who feel themselves something in the present order of things, and fear to become nothing in any other." Thomas Jefferson
