I'm more old school but I like Jefferson.......but also as an idealist I prefer Plato's republic as an ideal society. Plato's concept of freedom involves the attainment of a perfected form of society. His theoretical republic embodies this freedom in a way that most Americans would not see as a free society at all, but rather a strictly controlled community. Philosopher-kings were Plato's conception of what a perfect ruler or rulers would be like. Freedom to Plato was not the idea of a person being able to go out and do anything they pleased, but of a person being exactingly shaped to embody ideals that are as close to the forms of beauty, justice, and good as a person or society could possibly could be. LOL, Ideally everyone wouldn't be trying to game the system, including the federal reserve who wouldn't exist in a perfect world. ....the problem is, who is a just king? ....Me?<g> LOL....We can't even make just educators or politicians<g>
