Title: Thomas Jefferson
Post by Callico on Oct 16^th, 2008 at 8:58am

Something to ponder as we prepare to vote:
"A wise and frugal government... shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Thomas Jefferson

I wonder if the slaves he had were free to persue a better way of life?

Jefferson is quite a character too. Pretty much an agnostic too...as were so many of our founders....although it was taboo to admit such a thing. His writings in toto are something to behold.

A great man.
