I’m not big into bandwagons. If there’s a fad I’m usually a’gin it. A favorite color? I won’t wear it. A political messiah? I doubt it. An obvious answer? I won’t give it. With an alter-ego so often desiring to please, I am, in effect, my own worst nightmare.
And so it is no surprise that when it comes to our Founding Fathers, I have always struggled to sing the praises of the most popular of them all: Thomas Jefferson.
