Throughout the entire world today
we are witnessing the breakdown of "group conscience."
In many self-governing countries we are now seeing
the inroads of ignorance, apathy, and power-seeking
upon democratic systems.
Their spiritual resources of right purpose and
collective intelligence are waning.
Consequently many a land has become so helpless
that the only answer is dictatorship.
Happily for us, there seems little prospect
of such a calamity in AA. . .
We very well know that the penalty
for extensive disobedience to our principles is
death for the individual and dissolution for the group.
- Bill W., April 1962.

Thought to Ponder....
