John Adams on the State of America In 2009
"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?"

Even with all the recent attention John Adams is probably the most underappreciated Founding Father & US President there is.
Simplex, yes you are blessed to have descended from him.
