A Note from Thomas Jefferson

Numerous political philosophers from Aristotle to Jefferson have written the words, or their equivalent, that we see at left.  In fact, the first decent paper I wrote in my quest for a degree in the subject was on Aristotle’s position on “The circumstances under which it’s acceptable to discontinue of friendship.”  Spoiler alert: It’s when a so-called “friend” has undergone a change in character.

FWIW, I don’t want to be a friend of anyone who has adopted the modern-day GOP position on white nationalism, the multi-tiered justice system, the abandonment of rule of law, the dumbing down of America, or trashing the environment for profit.
