I share your admiration for James Madison. He is underappreciated these days.

Both Robert E. Lee and James Madison, not to mention George Mason, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, all lived a short distance from here. If you are ever in this neck of the woods, we will visit at least one, if not more, of these residences.

I was listening to Michael Medved's Decoration Day special (That's Memorial Day for you Yankees). Seems that while James Madison was a great writer of Constitutions he wasn't too successful as a President. He declared War on the English, with the War Hawks intending to conquer Canada. We of course didn't take Canada, and the British burned the White House after feasting on Mr Madison's dinner.
