Every one has their heros , or at least people they look up to.
I have quite a few.
Thomas Jefferson is one of them.
It's amazing how pertinent his wisdom still holds today.

Thomas Jefferson is high on my list too. Clearly we'd be better off with his version of the Bible (with all the miracles redacted)! And were it not for his efforts, my avatar--another Thomas--might have died in a French prison!

Funny you should mention that, I was going to add a few quotes from Thomas Paine as well.
@TristanNuvo Pity we don't appear to have leaders like these today!
