If there be any among us who wish to dissolve the Union or to change its republican form let them stand undisturbed, as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it."--Thomas Jefferson 1801

The man said if anyone wants to change the form of government they would not be disturbed.

He said if anyone wanted to dissolve the --Union-- or change its (Republican) form, they can stand undisturbed--let me paraphrase here--because only a blithering idiot would suggest it.

LOL!! Just read this and it goes to show your true knowledge of the Founders. Jefferson influenced the Kentucky Resolution(which stated that Kentucky at any time could pull out of the voluntary union if they so wished), and Jefferson urged Virginia to invalidate the federal Alien and Sedition Acts because he felt the federal government was overstepping its bounds.

Sure sounds like a man that union is overwhelming of all to me < /sarcasm>
