Inspiration isn't making you desire or believe in something, nor is it providing a model, or an influence. It's animating your own belief - spurring it on - using the example of someone else or some issue to keep you going.

Like I said, I don't understand the distinction.

Yeah, I'm sure that it's unthinkable that Thomas Jefferson could have inspired a guy who lead a country that was big on talking about equality, rights and freedom, but where people were held as slaves and where whole groups who defied the central government were put into camps or liquidated.
I was just going to write this myself.

Jefferson was terrible, our most overrated political figure.

Jefferson was a very smart man, but he severely hurt our father Washington. :(

Well okay, but you've shifted the goalposts a bit here.

Yeah, Yi's shifting the goalposts here. Yi. Do you leftists ever listen to yourselves?

Most overrated obviously goes to Reagan, but Jefferson is in the Top 3 for sure.

Adams was far superior to him.

I would say Jefferson, Jackson, and Wilson are the three most overrated.

EDIT: My antipathy for Jefferson is well known and dates back before I left for Korea.

Louisiana Purchase = whole lotta waste of space. Though Polk was worse.

Okay, but the territory between the Mississippi and the Sierra Nevadas still sucks.

Sweden has huge amounts of uranium, but the ores are probably not profitable yet. Prospecting is being done though.
