"...nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper, truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle." Tomas Jefferson to Dr. James Currie, January 28, 1786.
What a stupendous, what an incomprehensible machine is man! Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment & death itself in vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment...inflict on his fellow man a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery than ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose."
Excerpt of Thomas Jefferson's letter to John Adams, August 1, 1816
