Consensual sexual intercourse with someone other than your wife is "destruction"?
Your standards have probably not been met by many human beings except for Jesus Christ and the saints.
Jefferson was a great man, but he was no saint. Whether or not he had sexual intercourse with his beloved deceased wife's half sister, he had other failings, such as ,living beyond his means, being a deadbeat debtor, and stiffing his creditors.
Somehow the world manages to carry on, regardless.
You talkin to me?
Or was that addressed to something else?
