Government and Morality are Founded in Families

I have postulated in an earlier post that all government has its origin and foundation in families which are composed of one man and one woman producing responsible offspring. In this light I offer the following quote which I received today through the Federalist Patriot.

"The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families. ... How is it possible that Children can have any just Sense of the sacred Obligations of Morality or Religion if, from their earliest Infancy, they learn their Mothers live in habitual Infidelity to their fathers, and their fathers in as constant Infidelity to their Mothers?"

--John Adams
