    I was not agreeing or disagreeing with Jefferson. What I do agree with is that from time to time people must be reminded that inaction will destroy the country. Jefferson thought that armed conflict was the way to do this, it is one method however not the best. Please refer to my response to the AC above for a more complete explanation.
