The founding fathers were crazy people. Maybe (pfaw!) I'm egocentric, or maybe they really are all a lot like different facets of my own beliefs with regards to the body politic. Hm.
Well, this I know. Jefferson was brilliant, but also kind of a ditzy, holier-than-thou jackass. Hamilton was a strong and admirable personality with a keen grasp on economics, but also the overbearing bastard son of a Scottish pedlar. Aaron Burr was perhaps the least naive of the founding fathers, but also a waffling, disloyal, pompous son of a bitch. Madison was reserved, scholarly and unspeakably knowledgable about politics, and also a paranoid, whiny, weak little wallflower.
I love history.
