You know, when various things come up (like Bush's recent incitement to go to war with Iran now), I keep looking through my old blogs trying to find the references to Thomas Jefferson so I can use them as my signature. Well, so that I can actually find it this time, perhaps I will make sure there is an entry with his name in it ;)

-- Nikola Tesla
