	I think John might appreciate this one


	"The almost general Mediocrity of Fortune that prevails in
	America, obliging its People to follow some Business for
	Subsistance, those Vices that arise usually from Idleness are
	in a great Measure prevented. Industry and constant Employment
	are great Preservatives of the Morals and Virtue of a Nation.
	Hence bad Examples to Youth are more rare in America, which
	must be a comfortable Consideration to Parents. To this may be
	truly added, that serious Religion under its various
	Denominations, is not only tolerated but respected and
	practised. Atheism is unknown there, Infidelity rare & secret,
	so that Persons may live to a great Age in that Country without
	having their Piety shockâ??d by meeting with either an Atheist or
	an Infidel. And the Divine Being seems to have manifested his
	Approbation of the mutual Forbearance and Kindness with which
	the different Sects treat each other, by the remarkable
	Prosperity with which he has been pleased to favour the whole
	Country."
