Like most people, you can pick a quote from someone famous
to either refute or concur with your arguments. Famous names
do not make an argument work; it should stand on it's own
merits.

Jefferson and Madison and Franklin left thousand of pages of writing
revealing a lot about the underlying philosophy upon which this nation
was founded. Unfortunately we live in a culture of sound bites.

I will say I know that the USA was started to get away from the kind
of people we have running the country now. That this despotic rule is
largely our own fault for being mindless and cowardly couch potatoes
unwilling to find out what is really happening because it makes us
feel uncomfortable.
