He has always picked up and moved on working for the betterment of us all, And much as he has worked to see the hungry fed, we must work to see our grand experiment, this country does not lose sight of the visions and dreams of Jefferson and men like him in these times when Neocons and corporate kingdoms work to create a version of an aristocracy that feels itself above the law or accountability.
The worst notions of the Federalists of the early 19th Century and those who hold them dear still long for their royalty and empire, and it is up to us to defend and reinvigorate the sharing of power of the Constitution, to remind leaders to leave when their day in the sun is fading and that all men and woman in tis country have a right to compete fairly for the reins of power to find their moment too.
No one should be above the law, nor does any family deserve to be a dynasty and all have their faults as well as graces, and these should not begrudged, as they are part opf what makes us human and thus are inescapable. Learning from them and never forgetting their lessons are more important than the workings of anger, resentment over them.
As though we must never forget the the past and lessons of history, we must always have our eyes forward to the future remembering to live in the present as fully and responsibly as we can.
