[The Urban Sombrero]

The text you cite is a decidedly small snippet of a larger thought that Jefferson was trying to develop, and as fate would have it, one that I have cited on here at least 3 times that I can remember. That larger thought is that we ought not run over familiar forms of government for light and transient or faddish social aberrations. It is much better to tough it out than to demand of what is in this case some 300 million people, that they just roll over on 300 years of normalcy, just so that the libs can develop yet another 31 flavors of gender. I hate it when the best intentions of the founders are slimed in such manner.

I was asked to quote Jefferson, not in support or negation of any point of political debate, but simply because I was asked to "quote a few bars." If there is any "slime," it is what you just did.
