If you browse through the archives here you'll quickly see that I am a huge fan of Jefferson as well. I'm glad you've included Madison's words about democracy. I'm always trying to explain to people why democracy is bad, but most people seem so heavily indoctrinated that sometimes it seems hopeless. Any right that is exposed to the vote of the majority is not protected at all, which is partially the reason we should be weary of politicians who claim they can solve issues like racism and discrimination.</p><p>I'm also glad you pointed out the importance of free market money for a free society.
