A reminder about that bogus Jefferson quote you used in the past.

Misattributed

* Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
o A historian named Howard Zinn said this in an interview with TomPaine.com in July 2002 and it has been widely misattributed to Thomas Jefferson. The interview can be found here: tompaine.com. The quote can be found in the first sentence of Mr. Zinn's first answer.

* That government is best which governs least.
o Attributed to Jefferson by Henry David Thoreau, this statement is used in his essay on civil disobedience, but the quote has not been found in Jefferson's own writings. In fact, it was first used by the early American pamphleteer, Thomas Paine.
