Hello Hair, good morning. Yeah, Corin can put this one on his home page, I guess.

I just wish that the choices for answers didn't mostly seem so small minded, our founding fathers were very much not small minded.

Jefferson was an interesting character. I have long been an admirer, having grown up in the same neighborhood as he did, people around there refer to him as if he was still alive. 'Course lots of them are descendents of folks that were around in those days.

I reckon Jefferson to have been the original "limited government" guy in America. Though I have read that he was converted to rationalism while in France. I mean the rationalism that led to socialism, which is the opposite of limited government. I need to research this a little more.

Darn! I am John Adams! I wanted to be Ben Franklin... or at least Thomas Paine!
