>> Do you have a "favorite Founding Father"? I sure don't.

It is a very difficult question and it is hard to go wrong with Washington.

Adams had the most integrity of any, including Washington, which puts him at the top of my list. And Tom Paine as well.

The traditional list of 6 or 7 is probably inadequate as it leaves out such key Revolution era figures as Thomas Paine and Henry Knox, without whom the Revolution would have failed and who played essential roles.

Franklin, of course, was the Father of the Founding Fathers. But he blew it all off later in life and had just a bit too much fun while the others were working hard.
