Our forefathers didn't fight that their decisions should rule us, but that we should be free to make our own decisions.

 There is great wisdom in the Constitution. It is a powerful and wonderful document. But, if it took wisdom to write it, it will also take wisdom to apply it to each and every situation. If it took wisdom to establish our freedoms, it will take wisdom to preserve them. 

  Some believe the God shuttered the heavens once the Bible was written. There can be no more revelation, for all God has to say is all contained in the Bible, they say. They call it blasphemous to suppose there are truths outside the Bible.

  Even so it is with us. We consider the Constitution should be a closed document. All the wisdom of the forefathers is sufficient for the future. We consider not that if freedom is to endure, so must wisdom.

   Our forefathers fought not that every word they said would never be questioned, but that we be given the right to have our own wisdom, and make our own decisions. The wisdom of the past is but a shaky framework if it is not supported by wisdom of the present.
