What do you mean?

All the working class became enslaved years ago, now the slaves have to provide for themselves.

Yet, I still love Jefferson,

Yet, I still love Jefferson, for reasons already written.

So many do, and I can't ignore his important role in founding our nation. Many "moral absolutists" like to believe that morals are morals are morals, but if that is the case, then surely Jefferson was a worse person than either Bush or Obama, since neither of them every owned slaves?

I kept the sound on and went about my business, although I have less 'business' to do than you. hahahaha

And I just listened to both CSPAN presentations a few times over the weekend.

It is hard for me to concentrate and I need a few times going through the info in order to 'get it'.

I do know this, these types of videos are more interesting than the Jersey Girls. hahahah

I think I read this link three years ago?

Good link.

Of course, and I am hardly the first to recognize this dichotomy in this man's mind, hell it is the dichotomy in the mind of this country.

I am enamored by these new textbooks propagated by idiots and propagandists in Texas and elsewhere that would make Tom a saint and evolution some damn guesswork by so-called scientists whilst 'they' attempt to ignore real history and real science in favor of pure bullshite.

hahahahah

If we choose to only look at the bright side of Tom and only the bright side of America, we shall miss the real Tom and the real America.

Well put.

Jefferson had an objection to slavery in one draft of the Declaration of Independence. The draft was rejected by Georgia and South Carolina.

However, Jefferson also had a dark side when it came to the actual practice of slavery.

And Franklin was there to edit.

Well put.

Of course old Tom kind of got older and meaner and more of a slave owner.

Goooooooooooood point!

Well Said.

And to this day, Georgia and South Carolina are not my favorite states.

hahahah

Resistance, it is nine o'clock in the midwest?

I love Tiger Lilies of course, this has got to be the third? time I have played them.

I get so lost Resistance. I really do. But you know that.

But I love OUR history. I really do love Jefferson and Lincoln.

These two folks provided us with hope so many decades ago.

Compare our history to all the nations extent upon the earth today.

All men are created equal and they are endowed....

Hell...

All the sins of the other nations combined do not come close to ours. We have committed less. But we must try harder.

I would like US to do better.

But I really do love this country and I love this nation's history and as far as I am concerned, our history demonstrates the best that humanity might ever attain.

I really do believe this.

But I aint never, ever going to ignore its failings.

We are a supposed democracy and that means we must acknowledge that the idiots might rule and that the elite must rule and....all according to the masses' wishes.

Not the masters' wishes.

But the masses' wishes.

And advertising is a strong initiative for sure.

I aint given up and I am sure you aint given up.

You have a nice Easter!

Really?

Really?

WE ARE ALL GOING TO HELL

Who told you that?

"And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it".

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing,

I do like the melody of the song by the Tiger Lillies though.
