re: #161 Atlas Fails

Jefferson used to be my favorite FF, but after some reading, I’ve really become more of an Adams fan. It’s hard to justify his pissing all over the Constitution with the Alien and Sedition Acts, but his legacy is so much more complex. From defending the British troops charged in the Boston Massacre to preventing a war with France and everything in between, Adams has lots of really interesting and commendable achievements that too often get overlooked.

I think Adams wins my profiles in courage by a founder award. I actually came to admire Hamilton after I heard he opposed a secessionist movement in New England that developed after the Louisiana Purchase. I guess it’s being a Virginian but I admire Jefferson for all his imperfections. Now all and all looking at ideas and as guys, I love Franklin the most because he’d be the perfect drinking buddy :).
