it is an excellent quote. Alas some other great American when leading a toast said;
"To our country; may she always be in the right, but to our country none the less!" I sometimes think thats how a lot of people think, that to question there nation is wrong, that it shows some lack of comitment. Ironic, because the USA was born when a few brave people stood up and asked questions..
I also like this one from Jefferson (quoting from memory here) speaking about croporation and Companies:
"I hope at some point something is done to stop these new aristocracies before they too strangle our new found republic"
