QuoteWhat does it say about our society/culture that we've boiled such a powerful, creative, witty individual into just another controversy to fight over?

That Texas has too much say over the American education system.

That's the fun part about Jefferson.

Up to 1990:  Everyone loves Thomas Jefferson.

1990 or so:  The left suddenly hates Jefferson, because he owned slaves, the right calls the left a bunch of America-hating hippies.

2001: The right suddenly hates Jefferson, because he was against indefinite detention and torture, and for public education (way before it actually happened.  The Left calls them America-hating fascists, then starts arguing amongst themselves over the "having sex with his slaves" thing.  The right laughs at them, and then decides to show them a thing or two by taking Jefferson out of Texas schoolbooks and replacing him with John Calvin (founder of Calvinism, for those of you who don't understand weird fucking Americans), and mortal enemy of Thomas Jefferson.

Current Day:  Everyone pretends that 1990 to 2008 never happened.  Saying Jefferson's name at a party gets a long silence and dirty looks from everyone.

Doktor's diagnosis:  People are dumb, and believe that humans come in pure varieties (exception for RWHN, obviously), and will kill anyone who shows feet of clay, in public or otherwise.

From a review of Skyfall I am reading:

QuoteThe key dilemma for any Bond movie is finding a plausible, crowd-pleasing mission for a heartless government assassin that doesn't make him look like a thug or recreational terrorist or scab taking work away from the CIA and Mossad.

That puts so many apologists to shams it's hard to look at.

Equally, one war crime doesn't make one a war criminal.

I also don't want to make light of nana's dementia.

But sometimes you have to mock the old to..... maintain sanity.

We never want to be there do we?

Burning coal for energy is barely more efficient than lighting your face on fire to poach an egg in your mouth.

Burning coal is worse than that, really.  It's filthy stuff if burned "raw", releases all sorts of horrible shit.
