I don't know if it was a conspiracy, but the newly discovered FBI evidence indicates that a person as bad or worse than McVeigh may still be out there laughing at us right now. I would like to have fried every one involved, which if it's a conspiracy is probably one of the groups McVeigh belonged to.

Since I'm listening to a lecture series on American History at the moment, I can't help wondering: if Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, and Washington were alive today, what would their politics be and would they be in the government or against it? While of course it's impossible to give a definitive answer, it's the sort of question that would be delightful to ask around a dinner table of well educated guests. Or maybe here on SI. My guess is that Hamilton would be a disciple of Greenspan. Madison and Washington, I'm not so sure of. Jefferson would be either a hippie drop out doing subsistance farming somewhere (he believed strongly that the small landowner farmer was the salvation of the nation and that all this citified commercialism was the ruination of a country), or he would be leading a local milita.
