I don't really understand 'murca's obsession with founding fathers. I mean, BF seemed like a cool statesman and all that, but who cares what these dudes thought? They're more than 200 years out of date. That's like if Britain obsessed over what Walpole and his ilk thought.

I read his autobiography and I was so underwhelmed. This guy allegedly had mistresses in every major city of Europe and he couldn't write about something more interesting? It is just him the whole time talking about local politics.
Thomas Jefferson seems cool though and I think Madison was a really good political theorist.
