How does anyone respect Thomas Jefferson considering his personal life? I don't know how exactly. What he wrote and did within all the details of the rest of his like, laid the groundwork for freeing the slaves and giving women the vote and other legal status. I'm not sure how I can hate him either. He was a product of his time and place just like everyone is, and with as many human falibalities as everyone has. Let he who is without sin, I guess. And I still think it's possible that he and Sally had a good relationship, that they cared about each other. It lasted a long time and he never sold her and had no reputation of womanizing that I know of. But I do know that everyone should see 'l776'. It's a brilliant musical and might spark kids to history. If it's wrong about stuff, teachers can explain things.
On with the show. All the world's a stage, I hear.
