And to think, he was 83 years old when he wrote it and he still held to his uplifting view of man. Also, I love the Enlightenment language that Jefferson used. Its hard to believe that men actually spoke like that at one time. <BR/><BR/>With Coolidge, you see some remnant of the Enlightenment but its fading. Today, you not only so no Enlightenment ideas you see *counter-Enlightenment* ideas; ie Obama and McCain. That's whats so damn depressing.<BR/><BR/>Happy July 4th Weekend.madmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14375140131881725965noreply@blogger.com
