[TheForge] Quadstate last weekend

[blcksmth]

  I have over 60 different e-mail signatures that I rotate from time to 
time which I have been doing for many years.
Most of them are quotes from one of the founding fathers of this great 
country as this one was.
Apparently these words of Thomas Jefferson offended some folks.
I fear for the survival of our great form of government when the wisdom 
of  those who designed it are ignored.

I know of no safe repository of the ultimate powers of our society but the people themselves;
and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion,
the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education.
