Thomas  Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that
banking institutions are more dangerous to
our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people
of all property - until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.'

Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition.
Thomas Jefferson

MT, I see you quote Jefferson a lot. HBO should really make a Thomas Jefferson miniseries like they did with John Adams, which was absolutely FANTASTIC! Have the same cast: the same Washington, the same Hamilton, the same Franklin, the same Adams and definitely the same Jefferson. Stephen Dillane played Jefferson just like I expected Jefferson to be: soft-spoken, humble, troubled. He's one of my favorite presidents, and I just saw a great documentary on his life on the History Channel last week. His life would make a great HBO miniseries. They just better not leave out the 37 years he spent with Sally Hemmings!

She recommends plenty of books for me to read and videos/movies to watch.


I think delving into the background of the people who helped found this country provides insight into the reasoning behind the constitution.  Sometimes. ;-(

I loved the Adams mini btw.
