Great movie line ...

I was surfing the channels a few nights ago and caught part of a great old Western "duster" movie with Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin called "The Professionals".
One of the best lines in the movie is when the man that hired them calls Lee Marvin a "bastard", to which Lee Marvin replies:
"In my case it was a mistake of nature, but in your case you're a self made man ...."

On Thomas Jefferson...

John Kennedy once said to a assembled group of scholars in the White House, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

The quotes below could prove his point.

Very Interesting Quote:

In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.


Doesn't this sound eerily familiar to what is happening in America today?
