re: #99 nonsense

Did you know he founded the University of Virginia specifically to have a non-religious college. At that time every single college was run by some religious sect or another and had required worship. He even designed it specifically so that the library was at the center in the exact spot that other colleges put their church — the main focal point of the campus.

And designed well he did. Most remarkable of all, the place would still be recognizable to Jefferson were he to come back today.
