Welcome to The Senate Site
Word from Sam Adams
From the Patriot Post: "Since private and publick Vices, are in Reality, though not always
apparently, so nearly connected, of how much Importance, how necessary
is it, that the utmost Pains be taken by the Publick, to have the
Principles of Virtue early inculcated on the Minds even of children,
and the moral Sense kept alive, and that the wise institutions of our
Ancestors for these great Purposes be encouraged by the Government.
For no people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be
easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On
the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in
their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid
of foreign Invaders."
--Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, 4 November 1775

Would beer brewer Sam Adams support placing those who committed either a private or publick Vice -- as opposed to a real crime with a real victim -- into the stockades?
I highly doubt it.
If I understand correctly, then, you're using Sam Adams to argue in favor of strict ethics reforms, right? Right? Please?
Darnit, I thought this was a beer related post.
How disappointing.
