Again, I thank the gentleman from Indiana for hosting tonight's Special Order dealing with the Constitution. More specifically tonight, we are spending a little time talking about, as the previous gentleman just did, unlimited government and its role in protecting human dignity. Now, the gentleman from Texas was just referencing the issue with regard to the unsustainable projection and trajectory of spending at the Federal level, and with regard to the burden, therefore, that we place on untold generations that follow after ours. You have to then ask: What sort of respect does this generation have for the human dignity of future generations who encompass their lives with the specter of having limitations on their abilities to make fundamental choices for themselves because of the obligations that have been placed upon them by this generation? Earlier, I spoke about the Divine, and I think you need to do so when you're asking the fundamental question, as we're doing tonight, with regard to the issue of human dignity.
