The Trailer
Dear Marsh
Thanks for your insightful comment.
I did not know the Jefferson quote.
Here's how I've rendered it:
I'm captivated by this 1791 portrait of Jefferson.
Jefferson's quote reminds me of another meme:
"The Holocaust Was Legal. Slavery Was Legal. Segregation Was Legal. Genocidal Theft Of What Became the United States Was Legal"
If you have not checked out Ken Burns' new documentary -- "The U.S. and The Holocaust" -- I tell you that the more I see, the more absorbed I become. In this documentary, Burns treads that fine line between our idealistic official story, and the shadow side that routinely dogs our Appolonian conscience. "The U.S. and The Holocaust" is not only masterfully done, but has been released at just the right moment.
